The thing is, there was a lot more she could have told. And she never said she was through with that world. She said she was always open to the possibility of revisiting the world of magic and Hogwarts.
I was terribly upset by the ending of the book, because we never found out what really happened with Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione. I figured Hermione would go back to teach, Ron would work in the Ministry like his father, and that Ginny and Harry would've been aurors. I wish that had been cleared up, although its nice to see that Percy was either doing something at Hogwarts or the Ministry at the end. Shouting about broomstick regulations.
And as for their children? Harry and Ginny have 3 as far as we know, but what about this Victoire? She could be another child of Ron/Hermione's, or she could belong to another Weasley, seeing as Lily Potter called her their cousin, and said she hoped Ted married her so he really would be part of the family....
I actually cried once or twice in the book. When Fred died, and during Snape's memory, and when Harry was holding the stone and all the people he loved who had passed were there with him. I never expected Fred to die, I'd always had Percy pinned to do some fantastic feat and get tortured for information, but he would've never given in.
