What about Charley? The dragon keeper Weasley--when the family got together, where was he?

Percy was on the train--did that make him a conductor or something more closely related to the school as he was talking about rules?

I think you may be correct about Bill and Fleur's daughter as the name does sound a little like French.

I also am of the opinion that the form was the piece of Voldemort's soul now defeated, and beyond help. The remorse Harry looked for in Voldemort at the end we saw in Severus Snape. That would be the redeeming factor in Severus. With Voldemort's soul split so many ways, I really do not believe he had a chance. The fact that Harry tried makes him more like Dumbledore than ever.
