I wonder if APBWD would have put more effort into getting at the
Hufflepuff cup if he realized that his alacrity was his
self-judgment of worthiness of the oxygen he consumed?
I also wonder if Harry and the Goblins had and used any sure
means of detecting whether Voldemort was most sincerely dead
rather than merely mostly dead. Or was that what the ritual
working was for -- arranging for an honor guard to accompany
him?
I also wonder if Gellert Grindelwald will notice that Dumbledore
no longer puts in conjugal visits at Nurmengard.
Hermione isn't exactly 'bathed in Light' herself if she
understands the need for APBWD's termination-with-prejudice just
on seeing the likely alternative from the alternative history.
Harry's snark about Paths of Light aside, it looks like she's
more apt to join him on the Paths of the Just. That bodes well
for a lifelong partnership, and the world at large.
This tale continues to entertain and surprise. Pray continue.

Gellert will miss the visits, but will giggle everytime he thinks of Dumbles and Snape dead and naked together
