Well, here's my everchanging list...

1. Hagrid.  ::cuddles my beloved Hagrid doll:: Because I tend to be a
bit silly over my pets myself... ::g::  Because he's kind - to Harry,
and especially to Hermione when she was quarreling with the others,
that was so sweet.  Becuase he's sentimental, and I adore that in a
man.  And because you've just got to love a man who is enough himself
to carry a pink umbrella.

2. Hermione - becuase I was the smart girl with few social skills,
although I trended to be quiet rather than bossy. And I love her
idealism. Finally, I love that she rejected the whole Cinderella thing
- being all femme and pretty is nice for a change, but not what her
life is about.

3. Neville. The darling...  All that awful stuff for a child to deal
with, his past, his grandmother, Snape and the other kids, and he
still keeps bumbling along like a little sweetheart.

Nearly made the list: Lupin, Percy and Ginny.

least Favourites:

1. Dumbledore. I can't even say why, he just gets on my nerves.

2. Both Dursley snrs. Among other things, Dudley is as much a vitim of
child abuse, in a different way, as Harry.  Cruelty to children,
whether it's the Roald Dahlish cruelty towards Harry or the more
ill-in-the-head abuse by overindulgence of Dudley, is just
unforgivable.

3. Draco.  Cowardly - thinking of his muscles - spiteful, tedious,
racist and, well, his pleasure in Cedric's death was just too much.
He's the equivalent of a rich kid who gets bitter over imagined
slights and joins the National Front, if you ask me - a Nazi in the
making.

Nearly made the list: Fudge, Lucius.
