Oh, it's too soon. I started re-reading the whole, but can't really laugh at Fred & George's pranks, I have a bitter taste in my soul, knowing what will happen.
And it may sound cruel but if you ask me, it should have been Percy. I'm evil, I know.

I found myself saddened at each death, even Pettigrew's. He was truly a loathsome creature, but also one I could feel pity for. The characters that I mourn the most, however, are Hedwig, Snape and Lupin.
I just wasn't expecting the death of Hedwig. I mean, she's an owl. An owl, not directly involved in the war. It set the tone for the rest of the novel, for me.
Snape's death (and subsequent semi-attonement via the pensieve) really affected me. I'd always hoped that there was some good in Snape, and now I know who the "horrible boy" was that Petunia mentioned.
Lupin's was incredibly sad for me, for the reasons sketched out elsewhere here.
But what about some of the others as well? Considering Voldemort, I pity him: An unloved bastard who had to take away the knowledge that his birth killed his mother. I can't pardon his evil (like I couldn't any real madman) but I could always wonder what might have happened if his mother had survived....
And what about the Muggle Studies teacher? Charity Burbage? Sure, we never got to know her, but surely she is the teacher whom Hermione respected and looked up to in that Muggle Studies class for which Harry and Ron chastised her....
Bellatrix killed Tonks? I thought she was killed by Dolohov. But I just checked Wikipedia, and I guess J.K stated in an interview that Tonks was killed by Bellatrix. Yeah, good for Molly!

How come Lucius didn't die? I mean, I think in the seventh book, he was a bit of a coward. You know..... kinda lazy and soft. If Voldemort doesn't like people like that, how come he didn't kill him off?
And I'm gonna miss Fred so much. Without him, there's no more funny twins. No more saying stuff at the same time.
Remus and Fred's death hit me so violently. I had to read them over and over again to make sure I got it correctly, I thought I was delusional. I felt like I was never gonna be cheerful again... as if a dementor was near...

My sister(17yrs) loves dobby and is always saying harry potter loves dobby even though it's dobby loves harry potter(2nd movie). So when she was reading the book she asked who was going to die and i said dobby and she was like "NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!"
I thought harry had died when voldemort tried to kill him because he asked dumbledore if he (dumbledore) was dead and dumbledore said yes so i thought if dumbledore was dead and harry was where dumbledore was then harry was dead but then i found out he wasn't and i was happy again.
i was a bit pissed that snape didnt actually get to show his 'true' colours by fighting for the order...you know, get a bit of redemption from other characters while he was there...
I love snape, his character was so dark, you just knew there was something there inside of him that he was hiding...
But oh well, atleast harry found out the truth in the end...
It hit me today... Snapes dead!!!!!!! I was at ballet and suddenly started crying my eyes out and when I was asked what's up I cried about Snape being dead even though it was ages ago!
Sorry to go about it like this, but reading this thread kinda makes me sick. To actually say R.I.P's to a bunch of fictional character as if they were real people just seem dumb. While there are thousand of people out there who are dying because of war, poverty or oppression are left out.
