Couldn't JK Rowling have put this information in the last chapter of Deathly Hallows?

Harry Potter, who always voiced a desire to become an Auror, or someone who fights dark wizards, was named head of the Auror Department under the new wizarding government headed by his friend and ally, Kingsley Shacklebolt.

His wife, Ginny Weasley, stuck with her athletic career, playing for the Holyhead Harpies, the all-female Quidditch team. Eventually, Ginny left the team to raise their three children — James, Albus and Lily — while writing as the senior Quidditch correspondent for the wizarding newspaper, the Daily Prophet.

Harry's best friend Ron Weasley joined his brother, George, as a partner at their successful joke shop, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Hermione Granger, Ron's wife and the third person of the series' dark wizard fighting trio, furthered the rights of subjugated creatures, such as house elves, in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures before joining the magical law enforcement squad. The couple had two children — Rose and Hugo.

Update:

I wouldn't have known any of these details if I hadn't stumbled across an article on yahoo. And these are things that at least I was curious about!

Update 2:

These are the things she said in her Q&A session with her fans.

Update 3:

She had this to say about Luna:

Luna Lovegood, Harry's airily distracted friend with a love for imaginary animals who joins the fight against Voldemort in the Order of the Phoenix, becomes a famous wizarding naturalist who eventually marries the grandson of Newt Scamander, author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."

    yeah and i wanted to know what happened to Luna Lovegood and Malfoy and all of the other main characters in the book instead of just those four.

    Good question. It does seem really strange that she would have written that fairly lame epilogue only to come out with this a week later. She can say all she wants about "imagining" where the characters end up...but the fact is that as the writer she determines what happens to them ultimately.

    I wonder if this is in response to some general disatisfaction with the ending?

    I am still a bit curious as to what happened to the dursleys.. not so much as vernon and petunia. But Dudley seemed to care about Harry at the end. Sorta. He was at least grateful to keep his soul anyways
