As for Deathly Hallows, I think Teresa has hit it right at the head. JK might have been dying to end the series and start on something new (or maybe just have time to enjoy all that money she's made from writing the series). That would be a good excuse. I also can't help wondering if this was really how she intended the Harry Potter story to end (or begin). I did read an interview of hers once and she said that she had to edit the story because the publishers told her to. The original setting of Harry Potter was apparently too dark for the target audience and JK had to dilute it quite a lot just to get it published. Of course, she can do whatever now, but back then she can't afford to be pushy. Maybe her original vision for this story got modified too much, which might be the cause for the swiss-cheesed ending.
I don't know.
