It's supposed to an illustration of what Natalie Portman is talking about in her last speech. All the people wearing the Guy Fawkes masks remove them to reveal Natalie Portman's parents, the two lesbians in the camp, Stephen Fry's character, etc. Natalie Portman describes how V is in each of us and so the film literally uses those victims to represent the movement that V had created. It's all symbolism. I was taken back by the appearance of the girl myself, until I saw Stephen Fry. Then I got it.

When you see the girl with glasses shot, Finch is telling Dominic about how events might unfold:
Dominic: What do you think will happen?
Finch: What usually happens when people without guns stand up to people with guns.
And later he says "someone will make a mistake" and you see the girl with glasses shot. So it could be, that it only happens in Finch's mind.
But after thinking some about it i also tend to think, that she really got shot since you see all the other dead people taking off their masks, too (Deitrich, Evey's parents, the lesbian couple). -

It's ironic that I came to the board about this very question. See, I rewatched her getting shot so many times that I noticed that the paint can was hooked to her belt and when she was shot, it went flying off in front and to the right of her, before she hit the ground. I just figured that the bullet just happened to hit that can and she was dazed by the force of the bullet and just laid there. When we see her mask slide away, that means that her head hit the pavement. That would be enough to clean most of the clocks of everyone. Eyes opened or closed, we wouldn't be moving much for a while after that.
I have something to say; It's better to burn out, than to fade away!!! -

I took that scene to mean that he was predicting what would occur as the scene cut to show his prediction being played out in real life. He was speculating but the film was showing that he was correct.

I've said on another post that V is a metaphor for the individual, and that's what he was to those people who died, including Deitrich and the girl, and Evey's parents. The reason V has no real identity is so can represent everyone. Behind the mask, he could be anybody, and that's whats so important about him.
The characters appearing at the end were just another way of giving us that message, that, as Evey says, 'he was all of us'.
