*sigh* I wish I could find another HP comm that is actually active besides ontd_hogwarts. Where is the current equivalent of the SugarQuill?

And just to round out the entire cast, Lily Evans-Potter has earned a small but rabid Hatedom for daring to choose James over Snape. It's not Ron the Death Eater to disagree with her choice or her actions, but the fic and essays portraying her as an evil, stuck-up, abusive, shallow demon spawn because she didn't love Snape back (even though he at one point called her "mudblood," the wizarding equivalent of the N word) definitely is.

Oh man, I read an essay like that the other day. It was a Snape-defense essay that had some interesting insights into his possible motivations and the timing of certain events in canon (such as when he turned to Dumbledore for help), but the writer had a nasty habit of vilifying virtually all the non-DE characters that Snape interacts with at any point in the series. (Except maybe Neville--I think he got off okay.)
