It's not ridiculous in the context of the book, no offense. I thought it was brilliantly written, considering how many loose ends had been floating aroud.
So the epilogue is a bit sappy. The names are sickeningly sweet, but signify something. Harry names one of his sons after two of the hogwarts headmasters - Albus Severus - so that his son will not be ashamed of whichever house he chooses to belong to if the sorting hat gives him the same choice that it gave Harry.
I think the book deserves way more credit than a few sarcastic bulletpoints - I was pretty happy with the whole sevenhundredpagemonstrosity. :)
