So far I have stayed out of this debate but I have to disagree with 
you here. First of all in the fourth book (first major romance 
overtones) Harry and co are aged fourteen/fifteen. They aren't 
children, they are young adults.

My second point is that most fanfiction about Harry at school is set 
from fifth year and up. Dealing with characters aged 15-18. Of course 
they are thinking about sex and many people that age are in sexual 
relationships. I speak as someone aged 17 who is probably nearer 
Harry's age than you are. So perhaps I have a clearer insight into 
people of my own age group than you do.

This isn't an attack, by the way.
