It reads like badly written fanfic, but I kinda liked it. I agree that I will never consider it canon though... but then, I don't consider the equally badly written epilogue canon either.
(On the other hand, there are some extremely well-written fanfics out there that I do consider canon... so there, JKR! 
)
I didn't have a problem with the epilogue (I don't quite get all the hate around it, actually), but in my head canon, Luna and Neville end up together. Come on Rowling, NOBODY CARES ABOUT HANNAH ABBOTT!
I wouldn't say I hate it, it was just so utterly unnecessary! It seemed like wish-fulfillment rather than a proper part of the book.
I totally see what you mean about Luna and Neville, though I've always thought Luna and Ron would make a cute couple too (because in my head canon Harry and Hermione end up together... another reason why the epilogue will never be canon to me).
I wanted Hermione to end up with Victor Krum. I wouldn't even mind her ending up with one of the other Weasley brothers. I just don't see her and Ron as anything but buddies. Buddies that rag on each other at that.
Speaking of the Weasley brothers, I thought Bill and Fleur came out of nowhere even though I like both characters.
