“In essence divided” was Dumbledore’s theory that Nagini’s essence was divided - that it contained part of Voldemort's soul, and that was why it was so very adept at doing his bidding. This also explained why Harry, the last and unintended Horcrux, could see so clearly through the snake's eyes, just as he regularly sees through Voldemort's.
JKR: “When Dudley was attacked by the Dementors he saw himself, for the first time, as he really was. This was an extremely painful, but ultimately salutory lesson, and began the transformation in him.”

JKR: Griphook was wrong - Gryffindor did not 'steal' the sword.”
Azkaban no longer uses Dementors.
“The Hufflepuff common room is accessed through a [still-life painting] near the kitchens. It is a very cosy and welcoming place, as dissimilar as possible from Snape's dungeon. Lots of yellow hangings, and fat armchairs, and little underground tunnels leading to the dormitories, all of which have perfectly round doors, like barrel tops.”
George Weasley named his first child Fred. He became very successful businessman.

Jo changed her mind about someone doing magic late in life when she was writing Book 3.
Wormtail picked Voldemort’s wand up at Godric’s Hollow and saved it for him.
Tom Riddle would have turned out very different if his mother had survived and loved him.
Snape is a hero, but a “flawed” one. An anti-hero.
Regulus was able to figure out what Voldemort was doing with the Horcruxes because Voldemort arrogantly dropped hints about why he could not be killed.
Lily might have grown to love Snape “if he had not loved Dark Magic so much.”
The number of Dementors have been greatly diminished because despair and degradation have been lessened in the world.

Dumbledore understood Mermish, Gobbledegook and Parseltongue.
Lockhart will never recover.
Harry made sure that the Wizarding world knew that Snape was a hero and on Dumbledore’s side, though Rita Skeeter probably wrote an expose about him.
Teddy Lupin is a Metamorphagus, not a werewolf.
Socks were a running joke in the books and are not symbolic.

Dumbledore gave Ron his Deluminator because he knew Ron would need guidance.

The third thing Hermione smells with Amortentia is the scent of Ron’s hair.

Snape became a Death Eater because he was “insecure and vulnerable” and wanted to be a part of something “impressive.”
Snape thought he could have his dark magic friends and Lily too. He never understood her aversion and thought she would be impressed.
JKR: “the real Master of Death accepts that he must die, and that there are much worse things in the world of the living.”
Harry used the Cruciatus Curse because he was in an “extreme situation” and was so angry to see young children threatened. He is not a saint.
JKR: “Harry's faults are primarily anger and occasional arrogance.”
Harry’s son James probably has the Marauder’s map (but Harry didn’t give it to him).
When Petunia paused at the door as she was leaving she almost wished him luck and told him that “her loathing of his world, and of him, was born out of jealousy.” But she couldn’t do it; she had “hardened” too much.
JKR “always wondered why nobody ever asked [her] what Dumbledore's wand was made of!”
There is nothing special about Aunt Muriel’s tiara (the old bat!)
