I found all the names on the platform in the epilogue to be really confusing -- i had a hard time keeping track of which set of parents each kid belonged to and which of each set of siblings were older/younger. RE: Ron and Hermione's kids names, i wondered if they were named after her parents? They're really Muggle-sounding names compared to the names given to kids by other witches and wizards. I have a vague recollection of having read her parents names, but i can't think which book it might have been in. [shrug]
I wondered if we jumped forward 19 years so we could specifically see Albus Severus (blech!) going off to Hogwarts, but i can't see anything especially significant about Albus's leaving. Sure, Harry tells Albus something he's never told anyone else? (or just his kids?, can't remember) -- the bit about almost being sorted into Slytherin -- but it doesn't seem like *that* big a deal.
