 Some of those parings they came up with were sick, but funny! Some, were saying that everday parings were gross! Such as, Harry/Hermione for example. Alot of them were saying that Dumbeldore shouldn't be in romances because he's too old! That's totally unfair! So, after you get wrinkles, and are over the age of 90, you can't have a love life anymore? Geez, if my greatgrandmother were still alive, she'd have a few things to say to them. Old people can have a 'fun' too, and I'm sure when they get old and become grandparents, they'll agree with me.
 But some were there for a good reason. Like, Harry/Hedwig. I think it is possible that Hedwig is really a human, but still it's gross. Whoever heard of two people falling in love, because one of them used to be the other's pet? 
 Speaking of Dumbeldore, I actually saw a 'serious' and strange romance fic with him and the blue Ford Anglia that Harry and Ron drove to school in. It was rather strange, but thankfully not an NC-17.

Harry/Hedwig is actually a running joke in the fandom - well, joke 
to everyone but Simon Branford that is, as his pet theory is that 
Hedwig is an animagus or trapped (like some birds in old Grimm 
fairytales) in the body of a bird against her will. And the ideal 
Harry/Hedwig fic wouldn't include any relations while Hedwig is in 
bird form, but after she's transformed/been freed from her 
imprisoning spell, their love will blossom into a OTP (one true 
pairing) of wonder and magnificence. 

Or something like that. I think Simon came up with the theory in the 
first round of ship wars, to say that he was an H/H shipper, but not 
Harry/Hermione.
