What kinds of private symbols aren't served by the symbol server?
3 comments

All of them. The server serves public symbols. Private symbols have structure info and even local variable names, which are very useful.
There are two levels of debugging symbols. One is released with every Windows build, for end-users reporting back stack traces and the like. These are of the second more granular level - private debugging symbols available to developers only.
