And this is why I don't really like the twins and feel bad for Percy. Really, the twins are not nice people. They were horrible to non-Gryffindors at school and they do a great deal to make situations worse. The products they develop are dangerous and everyone just seems to laugh it off as boys being boys.

It interests me that Harry has ambiguous morality, because I tend to find the morally grey characters more interesting. Probably why Boromir is my favorite character in Lord of the Rings. :) But somehow, I don't really think Rowling is trying to make him that ambiguous. I hope she is, but something tells me she isn't.

I will be incredibly, incredibly disappointed if Snape really does turn out to have been evil all along, because I liked his complexity. That seems too simple an explanation, to just let Harry have been right about Snape all along.
