Character SWOT analysis
Due to certain unforseen, er, complications the two-week trip turned out to be a three-week one, and although said complications were unwelcome, the extra week I stayed in Auckland wasn't half bad at all :-) Offline friends who've been delightful companies and great support during the little advanture, who read this LJ- I shall stay in touch *this

Exactly. Strengths in one situation can often be weaknesses in another, hence why when I argue Draco and Ron are like twins born to different parents even the Draco-haters kind of agree with me, look at Ron sprouting all those horrible muggle-loving rhetorics that his daddy taught him ;-P!
And anyway you actually can blame a person less when it seems to be their nature to have little compassion and other positive human feelings, right?
Which reminds me, actually, of a recent post there where someone pointed to Harry feeling badly about his sectumsempra curse as proof that he didn't belong in Slytherin, at heart.
Hahaha! That one was great- in fact it was part of the reason that drove me to write this post. Didn't someone also say that Harry is so much a better person than Draco because he felt bad about cutting Draco open, while Draco was only too happy to break Harry's nose while he was down? And later also showed no remorse for having nearly killed two schoolmates?
I really have no problem with people saying Harry is a better person than Draco, I think that is painfully obvious and most of the Draco fans that I 'hang out with' (in a online sense) have never said otherwise. It's when they list all these odd "proofs" that my brain begins to melt in the face of monstrous illogicality. Um. Apple and orange really are different fruits, respect that fact people!
(Or is it just "cowardice" that makes Harry feel badly? /sarcasm)
He couldn't even kill a scumbag like Malfoy without feeling somewhat bad, what a wimp! *sneers*

Ugh--yes, that was the one. He showed no remorse...except that the whole story kind of hinted that the point was that Draco did indeed feel horror at what he had done. I mean, Harry was grateful for Ginny stepping in and saying that the curse was a good thing, so it's not like he was overcome with guilt in ways Draco could never be.
And let's not even get into the fact that Harry is fine with Draco turned into a slug and left on the train, and Montague disoriented for weeks. This is what just drives me crazy. Not because I'm trying to make Harry and Draco evil, but why do you have to totally misrepresent the other character? If you think this is what Harry should be like to be a good person and a Gryffindor, then he's just another jerk Slytherin!

I could argue that Cedric was a better person than Harry, (I came up as Mrs. Cedric Diggory in a quiz which I wish I had saved.*grins*) but I'm still more interested in Draco.
