Hello,

From: ender_w <ender_w at msn.com>
>   Actually, I would imagine that if Harry had been a girl, Draco would
have as well (Drac-ette?).  The rivalry between the two characters is a
major part of the stories and a boy-girl rivalry might not have the same
spark as a same-sex rivalry...though, again as a teacher, I have seen some
very heated, non-romantic (trust me on this one) boy-girl rivalries.

Now you're speaking as a definite gen reader.  For us slasher, the fact that
they're the same sex doesn't preclude romance (or rivalry).
