Thanks.  Kudos are always appreciated.  (Substantive comments, too--but I seem
to have failed to start much in the way of arguments in response to this
series.  Oh, well--I suppose it's ridiculous to hope I'll get a response back
saying, "Oh, but I think Harry SHOULDN'T develop fortitude.")

Anyway, through this analysis I've been doing--and it is really rather
off-the-cuff, folks--I've gained more and more respect for the series as a
story of moral development.  This is one where I think the far-right Christian
contingent is totally wrong when they try to get the books banned because they
lead to moral turpitude.  I respectfully suggest they're fishing up a tree.
