I recently read through volume 11 again, and besides the obvious plot points left for possible explanation in later novels - like Yasumi's flower, the exact relationship between Fujiwara and Mikuru, whether Kuyou will return or not, etc., one random thing I wasn't clear on is exactly where Haruhi was when Kuyou brought her to the Closed Space. According to the two timelines, she was either on her way home (alpha) or at Yuki's place (beta). So she must have temporarily disappeared from wherever she was around 6pm and then returned about two hours later. That would be fine if she was at Yuki's place since I'm sure Yuki would know what was going on, but if she was walking home, it would be kind of weird if she disappeared in front of people (if Itsuki and Mikuru were still with her, they probably wouldn't be surprised but other people on the street would). But then, didn't Itsuki tell Kyon in the epilogue that Haruhi was returned home after the whole ordeal? If she was at home at the time, I guess her parents weren't around or they would have been pretty shocked if she disappeared in front of them! I would say she was sleeping in bed at the time and woke up thinking it was a bad dream or something, but it was a bit too early for her to be in bed (plus she was still in her school uniform). Then again, Haruhi could have used her powers to rewrite those two hours somehow so we may never know.
Heh, I know it's a minor thing but I kept thinking about it for some reason.
