J K Rowling reveals the back story behind the Deathly Hallows Epilogue
J K Rowling recently revealed all the sneaky little details about Harry's job, etc which were left out of the epilogue.
As the information can be classified as SPOILER, they are posted in white font so if you want to read the information, just highlight the text below.
--->
Rowling said her original epilogue was “a lot more detailed,” including the name of every child born to the Weasley clan in the past 19 years. (Victoire, who was snogging Teddy — Lupin and Tonks’ son — is Bill and Fleur’s eldest.) “But it didn’t work very well as a piece of writing,” Rowling said. “It felt very much that I had crowbarred in every bit of information I could … In a novel you have to resist the urge to tell everything.”
Harry, Ron and Hermione
We know that Harry marries Ginny and has three kids, essentially, as Rowling explains, creating the family and the peace and calm he never had as a child.
As for his occupation, Harry, along with Ron, is working at the Auror Department at the Ministry of Magic. After all these years, Harry is now the department head.
“Harry and Ron utterly revolutionized the Auror Department,” Rowling said. “They are now the experts. It doesn’t matter how old they are or what else they’ve done.”
Meanwhile, Hermione, Ron’s wife, is “pretty high up” in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, despite laughing at the idea of becoming a lawyer in “Deathly Hallows.”
“I would imagine that her brainpower and her knowledge of how the Dark Arts operate would really give her a sound grounding,” Rowling said.
Harry, Ron and Hermione don’t join the same Ministry of Magic they had been at odds with for years; they revolutionize it and the ministry evolves into a “really good place to be.”
“They made a new world,” Rowling said.
The wizarding naturalist
Luna Lovegood, the eccentric Ravenclaw who was fascinated with Crumple-Horned Snorkacks and Umgubular Slashkilters, continues to march to the beat of her own drum.
“I think that Luna is now traveling the world looking for various mad creatures,” Rowling said. “She’s a naturalist, whatever the wizarding equivalent of that is.”
Luna comes to see the truth about her father, eventually acknowledging there are some creatures that don’t exist.
“But I do think that she’s so open-minded and just an incredible person that she probably would be uncovering things that no one’s ever seen before,” Rowling said.
When she was first asked about the possibility of Luna hooking up with Neville Longbottom several years ago, Rowling’s response was “Definitely not.” But as time passed and she watched her characters mature, Rowling started to “feel a bit of a pull” between the unlikely pair.

"Women "Lie, Cheat and Steal""
HALF of all women would lie to their husbands or partners to keep their relationship going if they became pregnant by another man, a survey said today.
Figures showed one woman in two would not tell her man that the baby she was carrying was not his - if she wanted to stay with him.
They also said four out of ten (42%) would lie about contraception in order to get pregnant, in spite of the wishes of their partner.
The new survey of women's attitudes to truth, relationships, and behaviour, said the overwhelming majority (96%) admit to lying.
Almost half (45%) of the 5,000 questioned told the researchers for That's Life! magazine they tell "little white lies" most days.
And so the truth of the matter comes out. I believe the colloquial term for the behaviour is 'being whipped.'

It's a hard life...
This picture seems to need some explanation:
As one of the commentaries already pointed out, lions do it every 15-20 minutes for 72 hours or more to make sure that it works. During that time he does not leave her, to ensure that no other Lion could sneak by to put his genes to work.
Also, the Lion has a small hook on his penis. When he pulls out he causes her and himself considerable pain, but it also contracts her vagina to increase chances of conception.
Thats why they dont always look that happy doing it..... as I said "Hard work"
