That does clear it up. I'd say I couldn't believe someone called either Ginny or Hermione "baby-producing machines", but hey, fandom :D.
the theme of the series is love in family, or the wizarding world does need a lot of new children to survive Those are valid and interesting themes, actually. But I guess I kept getting the impression that JKR had everyone having kids because she thought it would be a neat way to end the story. Not that that isn't a neat way to end any story, but in addition to everything else that rubbed me the wrong way about the books...bleh. It's one thing to have themes, and it's another to focus the story on them clearly (which, by now, you can probably guess I think JK did not :P).
