I have a lot of respect for the dead also and I agree with Magda on 
James.  I'm sure he was a great guy but surely not without fault.

I truly thought that was funny.  Just me, I guess :-)

I have noticed there are times when one must get out of the way.  
It's really kind of funny how we all take up for our man!

But I'm not joking.  I think he could be the one kissing her.

I don't do fanfic.  Maybe I better get out of the way of stampeding 
fanfic lovers!

Yes, it was.  I personally like Sirius quite a bit and also Lupin.  I 
just love Snape much, much more. I am personally tired of hearing 
about the great trio and James and Lily.....blah!  I love them all 
but enough is enough  ^_~
