Kinda sappy. I knew Snape was a good guy even though he appeared to hate Harry and killed Dumbledore. I also predicted that a Weasley would die but I was hoping it would be Percy. I thought Hagrid was a goner after the motorcycle crash.

JKR was needlessly bloodthirsty IMO. Why did she have to kill Hedwig and Dobby? And Tonks for that matter?

I think Dobby was killed to continue the mystery of Dumbledore and the mirror. Otherwise Dobby would have just told Harry that Aberforth sent him.
