First of all, I'm sorry if there is anything wrong. I'm not a native-speaker, so it may have some errors. ;p

Well, you put some really good points there. I have already asked myself those questions, and there's some things I realized.

About Lucy's Uranometria: I think that he had the magic archived in his own magic, as his magic name suggests, but he wasn't able to cast it. I don't why he didn't give the magic to any mage of Blue Pegasus before, but it seems like he was keeping that magic to "use" it in the right moment. When he and Lucy was fighting Angel he was weak, he didn't have much magic power, he couldn't use lot of attack magics, so he wasn't the right person to fight Angel, a powerful mage from Orácion Seis, one of the strongest Dark Guilds. The only one near him that was able to do it was Lucy, so he decided that it was time to transfer the ability to someone. Let remember that we don't know if he had to throw away the magic for give it to Lucy, even if it was temporary.

As I said before, I don't trust that Hibiki was able to do it, but I think that he was able to "find" Uranometria using his magic. Brain, the Master of Orácion Seis, was also an Archive Mage and was able to "create" some magics like the Self-Destruction Seal. Just like... An file that you want to download from an internet site. ;D

The real mystery is here: "Lucy looked like she was in a trance while chanting the first time she used the spell. After she defeated Angel, she was also confused about her victory. So that led us to assume that she did not remember using the spell. However, in the grand magic games she re-used it! How did she learn about it again?" Well, this fact can lead us to a lot of possibilities. 1. Maybe she talked to Hibiki and he told her that he transferred a magic to her. 2. While Lucy was training, we saw her talking to Capricorn, but maybe she also spoke to Crux. I know that he is expert in Celestial-Spirit Mages, but I don't know, maybe he knew something. Gemini also might know about something, even if he wasn't present in the moment she used it against Angel. 3. The fact that she learned first by Hibiki, it doesn't mean that she wasn't going to be able to learn it. After she realized that she was able to cast it, she probably trained hard to cast it again. The only thing that I'm not certain of is that she said "It won'be as strong as before". I don't how she could remember the strong of the first Uranometria. Here we have a mystery that we must wait to know the answer. (:

Finally, about the Fairy Mages wasn't surprised, maybe Lucy just told them or they saw her training. I don't think it's a great problem here. :D

(Again, I'm sorry if there's too many errors, but as I said before, I'm not a native speaker x_x)

About Mavis', and not Cana's, Fairy Glitter:

We don't really know if it is a spell that can hit only one target. I mean, it looked like that when she first used against Bluenote but that Explosion on the Grand Magic Games? Well, it seems like she could take more than one enemy there. Moreover, we don't even know it fulls effects against a true enemy. I mean, it failed against Bluenote and MPF wasn't a mage. Think about it. Fairy Glitter might be able to deteriorate a Mage in a single and fast shot. How many mages do you know that can use a single spell to deteriorate someone? It's a power that surpass Jura's most powerful spell (Until now)!

As I said, we don't know the full power of Fairy Glitter, but my idea is that Fairy Law is an area attack that may be able to kill (We don't know) or even deteriorate, but there are some conditions: 1. You really need to trust that the people you want to hurt are really your enemy. 2. It seems to take more time to cast, so the enemy can attack you before Fairy Law was done. 3. If you confront someone that can cast some "Law" spell too (Like Grimoire Law), you'll be in trouble. But, after all, it's a wide attack. When you use Fairy Glitter, you can hit anyone, you can paralyze your enemy before casts the spell and you don't have trouble if the enemy has it too. (Actually, you have, because he'd be able to kill you if you didn't cast it first, but ok.) But, after all, it isn't a wide attack like Fairy Law. So I think that, seeing all the pros and cons, that both magic are balanced.

"Why does Cana lose the spell right after she uses it?" - Because she didn't learn how to use the magic, she just borrowed it from Mavis to use once. Once she used, Mavis took it back. She was able to use it again on the Grand Magic Games because, as Mavis said, she lent it again.

Bluenote spent so much time looking for it because he intended to steal it from Mavis, and borrow it. Cana is able to use it only when Mavis lend her because that's the idea of "lend". Once that Bluenote could steal, it would be a life long spell.

"Wasn't Mavis' body an Ethereal one? How can she "lend spells" around?" - Ok, good point. But you see, even if Zeref was dead, people were able to use Lullaby. I know that it is different, but see: Fairy Glitter, Fairy Law and Fairy Sphere are Fairy Tail's Spells. Mavis in the founder of Fairy Tail. Maybe she created the spells, I don't know. Well, I admit that I don't have a strong argument for this one, but I don't think it is so strange. After all, Mavis is (was) a Fairy Tail's Mage. (:

About your last point: No, Cana doesn't have more magical power than Jura. Bluenote was able to surpass it the first time because Cana's magical power wasn't enough to cast it correctly. The second time, Cana's power was enough to use the magic correctly. The magic by it's own overpowered Jura's one, and not Cana's power. (:

(I know that I spoke that three times, but please, ignore the errors, I'm not a native speaker!) x_x

Thanks, and hope I solved your doubts. ;p .
