Those are good points, it just still hit me as a little irresponsible of them as characters and, on a more reality-based level, like Rowling was fishing for even more emotional heartstrings to tug.

All of this being said of course book 7 is still probably my favorite and whenever I reread it I usually do it in one or two sittings.

Heliphyneau:
The thing I disliked most about the deaths of Lupin and Tonks was that they were just shown dead, as if they were completely unimportant characters.  I know that JKR was going for a "this is part of the horror of war" thing with Harry walking in and seeing so many people dead, but it struck me as lazy and disrespectful writing and took me out of the scene for a moment.  It's not that I can't see them both fighting, and it's not that their deaths are implausible in context, it's the fact that we don't see what happens or even hear about any details later.  I thought the characters deserved better than 'whatever, they're dead' -- they deserved closure.  Even Fred gets short shrift, but at least we know what happens.

After the final volume came out and JKR said she was done, a friend of mine said if she decided to start a new series in the same world, the first book would be called Teddy Lupin and the Pointless Deaths of My Parents.

Regarding the final movies, I am looking forward to them, but I'm trying not to have high expectations.

Thomas Edison:
Hedwig.

WHY WOULD YOU BRING THAT UP

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

(yes that was the death that emotionally affected me the most, shut up)

Lines:
Hedwig made me so sad, but that was the one that I had to read a few times before I understood just what happened. Which in turn made it even worse. But I cried over Dobby and Fred the most.

(Don't judge me.)
