Doesn't this also apply to Baba Yaga?
BABA YAGA FAKED HER DEATH AND POSSESSED PERENELLE, TRUE STORY
Sorry, I think I've read too much Reddit today.
The Ravenclaw team put up a valiant fight.
But there was no Quidditch team anywhere that could've defeated the Slytherins that day.
Dawn was tinging the sky when the Slytherins won their final game, the Quidditch Cup, and the House Cup.
I read this as metaphorical, with Harry the Slytherin-just-kidding-Ravenclaw going Slytherin, but I don't see exactly how that fits.
The interpretation where the Slytherins are playing to honor their fallen professor is much more straightforward.
Hermione is a rule follower. She wouldn't destroy Azkaban if she had a button she could press that would do so.
She also knows exactly what it's like to be an innocent sentenced to Azkaban for a crime they didn't commit, and how easy it is for such a thing to happen. You can't go through an experience like that without re-evaluating some things about how you see the world.
Also she can't kill even one Dementor, or even cast a patronus to prevent one from killing her.
The point of the above post, I believe, is that there is nothing stopping her from learning to cast Patronus 2.0, at which point it's plausible that the infinite unicorn blood would replenish her life-force so killing Dementors wouldn't end up draining it all.
It's not entirely clear how Hermione's troll/unicorn stuff interacts with the depletion of life-force necessary to fuel the Patronus. That said, she has a Horcrux, so at the end of the day it doesn't really matter. And if Harry can eventually destroy Azkaban, Hermione certainly can.
I'm not sure how Quirrell's last plot could still come to fruition. Slytherin have won the house cup and one of the professors awarding house points to Ravenclaw at this stage would feel like Quirrell's plotting had failed.
"For defeating the Dark Lord, we award Hermione...wait, what was the difference in score again?...four hundred and twenty points."
Harry can always do with the ring what Voldemort did with the Horcruxes and ensure it is lost forever.
He can’t, unless he wants to visit one of the suggested hiding places several times a day:
"Sustaining a Transfiguration is a constant drain on your magic which scales with the size of the target form. And you would need to recontact the target every few hours
(McGonagall, chapter 15)
He has the Philosopher's Stone. Not an issue.
Professor Quirrell will always be a step ahead of you, will always outwit you. You cannot beat him in any game.
That is the characterization of the Defense Professor. A story cannot start with "You can't beat the Professor Quirrell at any game" and end with "Professor Quirrell has lost the game" without a character break in between.
...or character growth in the protagonist, theoretically.
Besides all the foreshadowing about Quirrell's plan being to lose a battle to Harry, isn't it rather convenient that Quirrell just happens to arrange for Harry to learn the spell that Harry uses to defeat him?
Not really. Mind magic is one of Harry's top priorities, Quirrell is the first person he'd ask about Obliviate, Quirrell has no reason not to tell him, and Obliviate wasn't exactly the spell Harry used to defeat Quirrell in the first place. This outcome is about as likely in the world where Quirrell wasn't expecting to lose as in the world where he was, so it doesn't shift the priors substantially.
So... Quirrel told McGonagal that he was David Munroe, and it was implied with Madam Bones. It looks like David Munroe was killed in a battle with Voldemort, ending that noble and most ancient line, which has now been avenged by Hermione destroying Voldemort with her magic Girl-Who-Lived powers.
Are we going to get the Noble House of Granger? Does the House of Potter lose its noble status since David Munroe was apparently not previously dead to be avenged by Harry? Will they both be noble because the Wizengamot doesn't know what to do with the ambiguity?
Voldemort still killed David Monroe, he just did it earlier than everyone thought he did. Chapter 108:
I had long ago taken my vengeance on David Monroe - he was an annoyance from my year in Slytherin - so I bethought to also steal his identity, and wipe out his family to make myself heir of his House.
Your other questions remain, though. Harry no longer killed Voldemort for good, and Hermione (apparently) has. This should be interesting. I predict this becomes an issue, confidence 70%; and, conditional on that, that Draco sides with Hermione again at a crucial moment, confidence 85%.
Am I wrong in thinking that Voldemort had given his gun to one of the Death Eaters, and so Harry should not be seeing it fall alongside Voldemort's wand when he cuts his hands off?
From 113:
This is the order in which the next acts shall be done. First Harry Potter shall be stunned, then his limbs severed and the wounds cauterized. Mr. Friendly and Mr. Honor will examine him for any trace of unusual magics. One of you shall shoot the boy many times with my Muggle weapon, and then as many of you as can shall strike him with the Killing Curse. Only then will Mr. Grim crush his skull and brains with the mundane substance of a tombstone.
So it was planned, but never executed. All other references to the gun have it in Voldemort's hand.

The stage seems to be set for a sequel adventure series, The Three Immortals. Three great heroes, each blessed with a fragment of immortality, work together to fend off the forces of destruction and bring true immortality to all of humanity.
Unicorn Girl, filled with the life-giving, regenerative powers of two noble magical creatures. Her mind captures everything that she sees, with amazing fidelity, while the purity of her heart pulls her to do what's right with similar fidelity. Some call her "mudblood", in honor of the ancient myths about the creation of man from earth, because the power to re-create herself flows continuously through her veins.
Mr. Physics, the culmination of the great Peverall line which has sought immortality for generations, is the heir to many great and powerful magical artifacts. But it is his deep and detailed knowledge of the laws of the universe which grants him his greatest power - the power to make anything out of anything, even reshaping his own body. He has made a solemn vow to protect humanity, with Unicorn Girl as his moral compass.
The mysterious Cloud has dark secrets which are hidden even from himself, but his mind still holds a wealth of ancient lore to share and an intellect so sharp it can cut through any facade or riddle... except perhaps his own past. This great mind is backed up, a hundred times over, in a vast network which allows him to be reborn in full force should his body ever fail him. The first to reach immortality, Cloud helped bring both his companions into their powers.
I would watch this.
