OK, sorry.  I just figured that anything I write would be automatically 
assumed to be my opinion.
.
Let me clarify, then:  _To me_, anybody who could read the account of 
Christ's life and his instructions, and somehow get the idea that you have a 
God-given right to hate and persecute those who do not believe exactly as 
you do, is in dire need of a remedial-reading-comprehension course.

OK, always up for trouble:

A "real" HP fan: can find "applicability" (for the Tolkien people) in HP for 
anything, ranging from such diverse styles as the Bible to Smallville (where 
I just found prototype!Redeemable!Draco).

A "real" HP fan: buys the hard-back nice books for herself, and the cheapie 
paperbacks for her kids.

A "real" HP fan: sees something 
interesting/disgusting/romantic/heartwrenching in RL and wonders how she can 
fit it into her next fanfic.

Come on, I know you guys can do better than that!  What's a real HP fan to 
you?
