harry potter Things that JKR dicho would be included in Book 7 but weren't

So, JKR did leave a few things open and some of them were even things she said were important in the last book:

1. What were Lily and James' jobs? JKR said it would be significant.
2. Who was the person who exhibited magic in later life that JKR said would?
3. What was Dudley's worst memory when he came into contact with Dementors?
4. I really thought we would go back to the Department of Mysteries and learn more about the veil.

Can anyone think of any other things that were left open or have answers to the above questions that i may have missed? :)

I've been wondering that also, about the person who would use magic late in life too? I didn't think they would go back to the veil, I think that was just to keep people's hopes alive to think Sirius didn't really die or something?

Also, I thought I read what Lily and James' jobs were, but it could have been in fan fiction - I read the book so fast it's kinda a blur! Gonna start reading it again today so if I come across the answer (if it was in the book and not fanfic) I will post it here!

Yeah, she missed out quite a lot of stuff, like PotterGal, tinydancer and caintil31 said, but I really hope she answers our questions on her website or in the upcoming encyclopaedia.

tinydancer - she didn't say what Lily's and James' jobs were

She also missed out:
1. the contents of Petunia's and Dumbledore's letters
2. How exactly did the Potters and Longbottoms thrice defy Voldemort?
3. Lots of stuff about the Department of Mysteries

I'm sure all of these things can be answered on her website or in her encyclopaedia

Thanks duckgoddess, stupid fan fictions getting in my head.... :) I think that alot of things that were left out will just have to be a bit of a mystery... I'm loving the sound of this encylopaedia she's talking about writing though, that would be brilliant! :)

Yes I was certain that the final battle would be in the Department of Mysteries and I was really annoyed we didn't learn about the veil. I kept saying to myself if JK had written a "jet of GREEN light hit Sirius' chest" i would believe that he was dead. But she didn't say it and I was sure he'd come back or something!
Nevertheless I loved it.

I'm disappointed that she didn't tell us what Harry, Ron and Hermoine's jobs were. Clearly they were professors or they would have been on the Hogwarts train with their kids.

tinydancer - that happens a lot to me as well, it's really annoying cos it's so confusing!

chel1395 - they could be professors because professors don't usually go to Hogwarts on the Hogwarts Express, they usually go by another means of transport

Oh yeah, i just remembered that JKR also said that some of the Professors were married and that would be important in the last book...did that mean Lupin?
I always assumed it to be someone like McGonagall, Flitwick or Sprout..

PotterGal - Remus wasn't a Professor anymore when he married Tonks...I dunno about McGonagall, Flitwick and Sprout

Just wondering if I'm the only one who wonders about this: Sirius is constantly mentioned as Hrrrys godfather, but anyone else wonder who his godmother is? I thought it strange that harry would never ask, since those in the order would obviously know? Anyone? Or am I just going mad/

JKR revealed in her live chat about the person who was supposed to do magic in later life. Her exact quote was:
I'm sorry about this, but I changed my mind!
My very earliest plan for the story involved somebody managing to get to Hogwarts when they had never done magic before, but I had changed my mind by the time I'd written the third book.

So, there wasn't anybody!
