The other question I had - Bill was injured in trying to help Dumbledore, essentially. Why didn't Fawkes (the Phoenix, I may have missed a letter there) cry onto Bill's injuries?

I'm glad Fleur and Mrs. Weasly 'made up'. She'll probably help bring in the French contingent to the Order of the Phoenix. (And Mrs. Weasly needs grandkids, I think!) I think Harry was a total wimp for breaking up with Ginny, but that may be the only way that they'll be able to get back together after Voldemort has been vanquished. I just hope that the books end AFTER Voldemort's totally destroyed, and Ms. Rowling doesn't leave us hanging!

I kept waiting for Luna to have a bigger part in the overall story.

And I thought only pure-bloods could be in Slytherin house? Neither Tom Riddle nor Snape were pure bloods (mind you they weren't mudbloods, either).

Spoiler:

I think that werewolf inflicted injuries are incredibly difficult to treat, and a Phoenix cannot act as a cure or even a help for those particular injuries. Like a beozar, I think Phoenix's aren't a cure for all ills.

You do not have to be a pureblood to be sorted into Slytherin. Blood doesn't determine which house you get sorted into. Though, to some extend, the attiudes you have about our blood might be a factor. For example, Voldemort had quite a bit of pureblood envy. And, it seems, so did Snape.
