Dumbledore*

Rowling did what was necessary for the plot, and I commend her for that. I want you to think about wars. There are wars all over the world, occurring right now. Many of them involve people younger than those n HP dying.

Thanfiction's "Dumbledore's Army and the Year of Darkness" is a PoV re-write fanfic of Deathly Hallows. Best fic I've ever read. It's publication-worthy. You'll fall in love, then bawl.

And you'll understand exactly what made Jo such a genius, because she had to. (I was actually rather peeved not many peopled died in Riordan's books, just because that made no real sense from a realistic standpoint.)

(Also, you've forgotten a whole slew of people. Lavender, for example, is actually canon. Remus, Dora. Snape. "Fifty others" most of whom were probably innocent Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, and Slytherins who died with no recognition.)
