I watched this movie yesterday that got me thinking about Snape in a weird way. I should at least partially blame sydpad's

I was reading bookshop's post on OTPs (I took out the link because it's f'locked--oops!) including H/D, and along the way the subject came up of JKR putting jokes in the books for fans--easy to spot jokes. And one came up that I've always actually been kind of interested in, because I think it goes deeper than a joke, which is ( Myrtle as Draco's fangirl. )

Thank you to anyone who left a comment on dorrie6's love meme about me.:-D I can't overestimate how cool it is. Yay! (And every comment I left I mean double--there were so many people I had to say good things to, and I'm glad I got a chance!)
This weekend I saw Bad Day at Black Rock. It's one of those movies that I find almost more interesting to ( Read more... )

I was on HP4GU today and realized there was an actual Draco-related issue in HBP that I hadn't written thousands of words about--and it relates to Snape too! Anyway, we were talking about Harry feeling remorse about Sectumsempra even though it was self-defense yadda yadda, and I realized there was something I was kind of dancing around in talking ( Read more... )

prettyveela has put up a poll here asking people to pick a side in various HP canon conflicts. As usual I have trouble actually picking a side, but I did eventually vote in all of them. What I keep thinking about after doing it, though, is not which side I chose but exactly why I picked one or the other. All the situations are so different that although it ( Read more... )

Happy birthday millefioriI was reading a thread on HP4GU today--naturally a long-running thread that I think started with the question of Dumbledore's placing Harry with the Dursleys and it echoed Sirius' life in a weird way for me, in a Meta-way. It started as a conversation about just what business it was of Dumbledore's to decide who Harry lived with. ( Read more... )

Happy birthday arclevelI was having a conversation today that touched on Lucius Malfoy...I've never talked much about Lucius, but after HBP especially I'm very fond of the character. One of the problems with him is that I think, like Draco, there's always been such a question mark as to what kind of character he really is. People have always just filled ( Read more... )

pauraque has started a re-read of PS/SS, which is up to chapter four. Hagrid has arrived to take Harry away. Heh. The first time I read the book I remember being incredibly impatient at this point--we know the kid is special, so why are they dragging out his return to the WW with a thousand owls and a trip to the sea? If that kid didn't just slip a ( Read more... )

Chatting last night I came up upon one of my least favorite theories--that Draco Malfoy really needs to be smacked, hard and often. I've been doing a lot of wondering, therefore, why I find this idea so distressing...not to mention why I don't have this idea myself. It's not like I don't understand where it comes from: he's a rotten kid, he calls ( Read more... )

I'm all wibbly over colin_creevy going postal over on nocturne_alley. Wah. I have decided to take my wibbliness and channel it into ( how I feel about Hagrid, particularly with regards to Draco )
