In the post-credits scene of the series

After seeing Rebellion, this seems connected in that

I'm not too sure though, what confuses me is that Homura is

Ultimately, what does this scene represent now that Rebellion exists?

How is the post-credits scene for the original series connected to Rebellion?


As far as I understand, this scene is supposed to show

If you go by this, then it can be assumed

So the wings would actually be

So it would make sense that
