I still vote awesome. The whole plan hinged on him.
I liked that Neville had a pretty cool role, too.
But she didn’t have to kill Fred, and if she had to kill Lupin and Tonks, at least she could have made it less of an aside. :-\
Also seemed like there could have been a lot less running around in the woods and bickering in the first half of the book, but...oh well.
I’m with you- voting for awesome. He played his part perfectly and was instrumental in protecting Harry and defeating Voldemort.
I didn't care for that part, but it seemed a reasonable way to go. After all, they REALLY didn't know what they were doing. I think it makes the reader feel the way the character feels (we're spinning our wheels, what are we doing, lets get to the action!)
I'm glad that the blue eye in the mirror didn't turn out to be Dumbledore who came back in some stupid way. It was fitting that it was Aberforth instead.
The worst deaths for me were Hedwig and Dobby. I expected people to die.
Neville coming out of the tunnel was my second favorite part (after Mrs. Weasley yelling at Bellatrix).
