Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows (revisited)

After two days of reflection I have come up with the following:

JK Rowling rushed the end, whether for deadline reasons, or she was getting tired of the story.

Point 1-The death's of Lupin and Tonks were completely unnecessary, but if they had to die it should have been written. This book wasn't the longest, so it could have had a few more pages. If not more pages, some of the glut in the middle should have been cut.
Point 2-She could have had a chapter about the aftermath of the battle.
Point 3-The Epilogue should have touched on some other characters that so many have come to love.

Hopefully at some point JK Rowling will revisit this tale and fill in some of the gaps, explain some of the deaths.
