Shouldn't we be more honest about Nevile and Ginny.

Seriously there is a strong misconspection in the fandom that says that Neville was the Leader of the DA. But the one that is mentioned most as its Leader is Ginny, not Neville. Neville takes over after she is expelled.

I've got some issues with the Death by Adaptation entry for Lavender Brown. Here it is:

• Death by Adaptation: Subverted. In the book she is attacked by Fenrir Greyback, albeit while he's in human form. The last mention of her in the novels is that she is "feebly stirring" following the attack. By contrast, she is clearly shown to be dead after being mauled by Greyback in Deathly Hallows: Part 2, despite her possibly surviving in the novel. According to Pottermore, she is listed as "presumed dead" and J.K. Rowling later confirmed she did die from her injuries in the book.

Here's the thing, I can't find any quote or interview from Rowling that confirms her fate in the books. All I can find is a behind the scenes book that confirms that she died in the movie, but nothing from Rowling herself. Secondly, Pottermore no longer lists her as presumed deceased. At one point it did but it was removed some time ago, now it makes no mention of her dying. So should the last sentence be axed?
