Patricide, matricide and various-other-members-of-your-family-cide

Found a good word in the Silmarillion:

"Kin-Slaying" 

Is Revenge good enough? I can definitely see someone wanting to search
for in-family death and destruction. After all, it seems to be key to
the series. 

They can't be as bad as mine, Cindy.

Second post to the list:

"Has anyone considered what JKR said about Hermione/Ron?

Q. Is it just me, or was something going on between Ron and Hermione
during the last half of Goblet of Fire? I love your books, by the way,
and two of them I've read straight through cover to cover in under 24
hours.

A. Well done on the reading speed! Yes, something's "going on," but
Ron doesn't realize it yet. Typical boy.

So, Hermione's the one who knows something's "going on." Interesting.

Ah, they must have winced. Why couldn't I be like Elkins who
scandalized the entire list with her first post and became an instant
celebrity? 

And oh the delusions I had back then! LOLLIPOPS, OBHWF, Hagrid was
endearing, Voldemort was an ordinary evil overlord (MAGIC DISHWASHER
has taught me better), Lupin should have kept teaching at Hogwarts,
Avery and Nott were the same person (Avery Nott), and that the scene
where Dumbledore gave them all those points was heartwarming. 

And then this list taught me, "There is no such thing as good or evil
intrepretations. Only subversion and those too afraid to use it."
