There's been quite a bit written in the recent SS/HG Exchange that addresses loopholes and inconsistencies in canon, but here are a few specific recs:
*Engineered Collisions (http://sshg-mod.livejournal.com/126749.html) (SS/HG, still anonymous) provides a very unique explanation for Snape's survival, deals realistically with the epilogue developments and explores the phenomenon of Dumbledore's 'clever' planning going spectacularly wrong while hurting many innocents. Again.
*The Men that I Used to Sport With (http://community.livejournal.com/sshg_exchange/101354.html#cutid1) (anonymous) brilliantly deconstructs all the flaws in the epilogue and also explores a number of plotholes from canon regarding the Resurrection Stone.
*The French Connection (http://community.livejournal.com/sshg_exchange/119315.html) (anonymous) addresses the question of Snape's survival and deals with the lingering aftereffects of war and loss. All is not instantly well.
*Not from the Exchange, but Get a Life (http://ashwinder.sycophanthex.com/viewstory.php?sid=16647) also deconstructs the 'happy' epilogue to reveal all the rot beneath. It also addresses the need for Wizarding laws to be overhauled and the question of Goblins' Rights.
