Rowling missed a trick with Voldemort’s name. I suspect she’s not very fluent in French. If she had made his middle name Marvolero instead of Marvolo, she could have had him be Volerdemort. Vol de Mort doesn’t mean Flight of Death, it means Flight from Death - as in fleeing from it. Voler de Mort on the other hand, DOES mean Flight of Death.
Closing the box on the horcrux explosion likely increased the power of it, not reduced it. The safest place to detonate anything is an open field. Anything that holds in the blast pressure increases the damage if it gives way before the blast is spent. This is fundamentally how a firecracker works - without the containment you just get a fast-burning, smoky fire.
And I had an amusing thought - if Hedwig were to swallow the Resurrection Stone like he did the Sorceror’s Stone, would he be able to summon the shades of the dead with a barrel roll?

Harry’s arson plan for the Dolohov manor would not have worked. Four hundred liters of petrol poured on a burning cloth rag would have extinguished the fire, much like how dropping a lit cigarette into a puddle of petrol extinguishes the cigarette. Doing that and causing a big fire only happens in movies.

Only someone ignorant of snowy owls would be surprised to see one during the day. Snowies, unlike most other owls, are NOT nocturnal - if they were nocturnal, they’d starve to death during the half of the year that the arctic regions they live in are in constant sunlight.
Also, regarding magic and electronics - if magic was as destructive to electronics or electricity as people claim, there would be a huge Statute of Secrecy violating electrical dead zone in the middle of London. Charing Cross Road is only about 2/3 as wide as a US-standard two lane road, and there are muggle businesses all along it. There’s a store that sells electronics right next door to the Leaky Cauldron! Diagon Alley is second only to Hogwarts for magic intensity in the British Isles! If magic disrupted electronics, every car made after 1985 that drove past on Charing Cross Road would die on the spot and never work again!
No, there has to be something more in play than just magic in general. Perhaps a ward against lightning strikes that also works on muggle electricity, and only areas actually covered by the ward are affected? That no muggle gadgets effect would be seen as a feature, not a bug, by blood purists and traditionalists.

This was a very fun story. Harry as Hedwig was hilarious. Harry the Boy, improving his life and magic, was a bit of a positive theme that is often lacking in fanfiction.
I was expecting Hedwig Harry swallowing the Philosopher’s Stone to actual undo the transformation that made his Hedwig. After all, it’s a cure all. Then again, Hedwig Harry might be an immortal owl at this point.
I wouldn’t mind an epilogue.
