Lockhart

<<Hmmm.  I am probably the wrong person to ask; I have a pretty narrow
vision of what makes a tragic character.  Dr. MM might see Lockhart
as tragic, I have to say that I really dont.  A tragic character is
generally one whose tragedy stems from circumstances beyond his/her
control, compounded by his/her cowardly response>>

Eh?  I don't see Lockhart as a tragic character.  From what we saw of him 
in CoS he certainly didn't give any indication that he had a tragic 
character to me (aka lousy childhood, etc.).

If I may quote Ron, I see him as a "stupid git" (or something like 
that).  His desire for fame (and lack of ability to get there without 
memory charms) rules all of his motivations.  While Snape certainly wants 
to be famous, he is motivated by other emotions (love and hate) besides his 
desire for fame.

JMO :)
