I have to admit, I missed the whole Snape/Lily thing. I'm not surprised the memories didn't show him more broken, because he wouldn't have shown it. Never mind Harry at the end, he wouldn't have given ANYONE EVER the satisfaction.
I'm not sure about Gryffindor enchanting the sword to come from anywhere. It seems a little too sneaky for a Gryffindor, let alone THE Gryffindor. Interesting idea, though.
Luna was wonderful. I re-read Order of the Phoenix and HBP recently, and was shipping Harry/Luna by the time I was done. She recognised him by his expression when he was Barny! And she'd have been so much better for him than Ginny. (Does anyone else suspect that JKR had a mad crush on some boy at school, and she's Mary-Sue-ing for all she's worth?)
