Yes. I really thought he was a goner when the spiders got him.

I did, too. It was one of those, brace yourself, Hagrid's bought the farm moments.

What I hated in the epilogue..Dracos's receding hairline. achhhh! I can't imagine that white blond Narcissa/Lucius hair, ending up with a Donald Trump combover in a few years..Aaaah!

Also, his kid's name..when I first saw that in the spoilers, I didn't believe it..Scorpius? Wasn't he a bad guy who wanted to take over the world (Homer and the family moved away so Homer could work for him) in a Simpson's episode more than a few years ago.

Scorpius?

Heh, his and his father's names were taken from the names of constellations, Draco the Dragon and Scorpius the Scorpion. I guess it was a continuation of the Black family tradition of naming children after stars/constellations (Sirius, Regulus, Bellatrix, Andromeda...)

LMAO! I thought the same thing! Hank Scorpio- Super Villian. His theme song:


Scorpio!
He'll sting you with his dreams of power and wealth.
Beware of Scorpio!
His twisted twin obsessions are his plot to rule the world
And his employees' health.
He'll welcome you into his lair,
Like the nobleman welcomes his guest.
With free dental care and a stock plan that helps you invest!
But beware of his generous pensions,
Plus three weeks paid vacation each year,
And on Fridays the lunchroom serves hot dogs and burgers and beer!
He loves German beer!

Yeah, I have to agree there. But grandpa is named for the devil and the father is named for a dragon, so being named for a scorpion is sort of a step in the right direction. Maybe in a few generations, one of them will be named "Flower". Or have a skunk named Flower. Or something like that.

Speaking of flowers, no mention if Draco ended up with Pansy or not.
