Now I am the complete opposite.  I have always liked baby dolls, didn't get
into Barbies until I was much older.  Even now I collect Lee Middleton
dolls, which are known for their life like appearance and feel.  I am 25,
almost 26, and my REAL maternal instinct kicked in big time about 2 years
ago.  Which explains why I sniffled my way through Harry's entire recount of
the graveyard events, and eventually burst into tears when good old Mrs.
Weasley finally gave him the hug I'd been dying to give him myself!
