Honestly, for the most part I really couldn't recognize anyone in this book, even Harry, who I had hopes for. Same with so many other characters.

Tonks, with her powers, position in the Ministry and Auror-training, could have been one of the key figures in the battling - except she had to get preggers and apparently turn into a bundle of defenseless hormones. Ugh. Between the past two books and the interviews following them, Rowling has given me a window to her brain and it is a terrifying, terrifying place.
