Of cliches and characterisation

To be honest, I never even *thought* about half of these topics when 
I first read the books. The fact that Dudley is fat, and the over-use 
of the word 'fat' in the books never even stuck in mind, let alone 
the 'main characters are boys', and 'the bad boys are blond' 
arguments. It's nice to have something to think about, but maybe most 
of you are thinking about it a little too much?  

There are some really interesting and plausible ideas, like snape is 
a vampire etc...Which makes me wonder- when you lot first read the 
books, did you just read it, and think "Oh no, that isn't right, JKR 
called Dudley fat" or "How come the nerdy ones all wear glasses" and 
the such like? Just interested.
