OMG, you're right. She clearly has this epic, burning desire to be a red-head. There is no other explanation.
Oh no, you're absolutely right. The Deathly Hallows were deus ex machinas in every way. JKR should've given us some clue over the books about what was going on, but I think her fanbase got too smart (like you said earlier) and she couldn't keep up with them. So, what's a writer to do? Why, use a pathetic excuse to get out of the entire situation, of course! *headdesk* That's why I'm so adamant about including hints about everything all the way through. If readers figure it out, great. If they don't, that's okay too. Writing isn't about being the smartest person who knows all the secrets in the story. It's about telling a good story and hoping people get something out of it.
YAY! It's kind of cheesy, I know, but I think it's all right. I got an A on it, so that's something. :P
