"Albus Severus," Harry said quietly… "you were named for two headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and he was probably the bravest man I ever knew."

"But just say –."

"– then Slytherin House will have gained an excellent student, won't it? It doesn't matter to us, Al. But if it matters to you, you'll be able to choose Gryffindor over Slytherin. The Sorting Hat takes your choice into account."

"Really?"

"It did for me," said Harry. (Epilogue.38)

"I know he will."

The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well. (Epilogue.43-46)

Good triumphs in the end, and there's no sign of a threat to this happy ending – let's hope it stays that way!
