Hi. I'm new to the list. I'm young, a mere 19 years old.

Sorry for bringing up Snape again, but he's one of my fav characters. He's
just so intriguing, and perhaps that's why we talk about him a lot, because
of the fact that his character isn't well developed, so there are lots of
speculations being made. I would be very disappointed if he were killed or
turned out to be a villain, both of which are too possible for comfort. Did
Dumbledore ever ask him to say "Voldemort" instead of "Dark Lord?" There are
so many unknowns. We don't know the specifics of his past, and I bet the
question burning on every Snape-fan's mind is what he did to make Dumbledore
trust him, and perhaps why it was he switched sides. I'm sure he didn't turn
for nothing. Why is it that he's so nasty? Was he hurt by Voldemort somehow,
as many Snape-fics suggest? I could go on and on.

Hermione is my other fav character. She's so smart, but we don't know much
about her either. We don't know where she lives, what her house is like,
what kind of wand she has, or whether her parents are proud to have a witch
in the family. She and Dumbledore seem to be the only ones who trust Snape.

I like Lupin and Sirius, though Sirius seems to have too much of a temper at
times. My friend pointed out the parallels between M.W.P.P. and Harry's
gang, if you include Neville as Pettigrew.

Sorry for the long, rambly introductory post. Too many things on my mind,
and sorry if these things were already discussed.
