I wonder how Harry would react to Death as written by Terry Pratchett?

Aww, so Dumbledore was the one who told Harry to look for Hermione on the train in chapter 6 :)

Huh? Harry thought it was McGonagall. What in this chapter changes that?

Sad ending:
All the students agree to take on the position of Defense Professor de facto.
Next year, all the students die.

That's the "sad" ending?
The Disposable Male sacrificing himself for the Greater Good and wept over by the Fair Damsel is the classic "bittersweet", ennobling ending.
The Sad Ending is Voldemort taking over Harry's body and destined to rule Magical Britain, and the world. Or Harry being compelled by his Vow to twist the Universe to some Cthuluic purpose.

That's the "sadder" ending, which is precisely what EY promised.

I'm not sure if there was a general "antihero or villain?" buzz about QQ or if Harry was the only person who thought the former. Luckily, affirmatively making him a hero works either way.
Though, what was David Monroe's House?

Ch. 84:
"I shall not name any names," said the old witch. "But I shall tell a story, and see if it sounds familiar." Amelia Bones looked back down, turning to the next parchment. "Born 1927, entered Hogwarts in 1938, sorted into Slytherin, graduated 1945.

- Why did Tom Riddle allow his true identity to be tied to his throwaway villain persona?

Because it wasn't a throwaway anymore. His plan was to take over magical Britain as Voldemort, and have both the 'true' respect that comes from fear of what he can do to people and the pleasure of killing idiots whenever he wants. (And possibly to exterminate the Muggle world, but first things first.)

Shouldn't Harry have fallen to his knees twenty seconds earlier, if he originally heard/saw the explosion via Voldie-simulcast?

What do you mean? He narrated the whole sequence before the explosion, and fell to his knees at the moment Voldemort supposedly died, which is coincident with the explosion. I don't see a problem, let alone one that would be fixed by shifting the narrative back 20 seconds.

Perenelle's surname is also Flamel. (You could use a portmanteau for Perenelle/Nicolas.)

Good thing we use M/D/Y calendars here in the States, otherwise we'd have to wait for 3 January 2041. Or, come to think of it, 3 January 4159.
