I remember something like "the snow was all packed down here so they got under the cloak." Basically they hit the street rather than a field. > And, yeah, the epilogue left me feeling cheated.

It may just be that the ending then represents the nice, fairy-tale briefness of her first coupla books rather than the monolithic blocks of dead trees of her last few. ;^) > What happened to the Malfoy's?

I'm like that too - after 2,000 pages of pain, suffering and fear I wouldn't mind a nice long, relaxing extended ending. That's one of the reasons I loved every single ending of "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy (a lot of people thought Jackson indulged himself and should have just ended it much more quickly - I loved it. I wish wecould have spent more time on it!)
