Marriages/Hermione&Ron/Logicvs.Emotions

Well - I believe Albus Dumbledore *was* married, but his wife's been 
long dead. (Supposedly she used to knit wollen, grey socks for him 
Muggle Way - Love by every loop. AD would miss that, I'm sure). And I 
do think Albus had several children (who also had children) - so that 
AD would be grandfather. Somehow he just seems to me as a 'sweet 
grandfather'-type. Found balance between Mind and Emotion.

Minerva McGonagall is not, I think. It might even be that she's one 
of the grandchildren of AD who did not marry or have kids. Just the 
sort of woman who's never been married and never will. The way she 
informs them of the on-coming party... She believes that out of long 
laughter becomes tears of sorrow. One who chooses Logic Over Emotions.

Madam Hooch? I think she *is* married. And so's Poppy Pomfrey.

Severus Snape- no. Logical, much like McGonagall... If I were Amor, 
I'd put those two together!

Remus Lupin, Sirius Black - no.

Quirrell, Lockhart, Moody, Crouch - no. Hmm... No DADA teacher so 
far - will the next one be - *Mrs.* Figg?

Prof. Sprout - married.

Hagrid - no. But might become engaged with Madame Maxime.

Others -- we just don't see them enough to tell.

Hermione&Ron -- Yes, I see it coming unless either one dies first. 
Maybe they even marry during 7th or 6th book? Considering that 17 is 
legal age of adulthood... I see Ron getting in trouble for it... 
attacking Malfoy. "He threatened my *wife*, Professor". Kissing 
Hermione in Gryffindor Common Room "You say I may not kiss my *wife*? 
What kind of stupid person made that sort of "rule" up?" AND, this 
would be something Ron's brothers haven't done yet - none of THEM is 
married. (Or we'd seen Ron's sister-in-law by now). Oh - and then we 
can get a *pregnant* Hermione, getting nasty at every one, refusing 
to drink a potion "might hurt my baby, Sir, I better not", Ron, as 
father, standing up for her and the baby... AND Ron can finally do 
something his siblings haven't! Molly and Arthur giving him advice 
about fatherhood... Baby at Hogwarts! Wouldn't you just love it?

And what comes to Harry finding love in marriage... So far, he's not 
ready for that. If it comes, it's well after 7th book - if he lives.

Anyway, I agree with Hermione referring to intellect, study and logic 
while Ron&Harry are more emotional. And as I believe that Magic in HP 
relates to emotions more than mind - strong one at least, she'll have 
*more* to learn, things her books (or McGonagall) can not teach her.

Love is strong enough to overcome AK as Harry Potter proves. I think 
that to cast AK it takes pure hatred - and only pure love can beat 
it! Yet... No counter-curse, not a charm, not a jinx/anti-jinx, not a 
hex... What about a blessing, given with pure love by a kiss onto 
child's forehead? Mother's do that all the time.

Someone said Harry's scar was more of Lily's love rather than 
Voldemort's AK... Yes - particularly as the scar is/was the only 
thing Harry liked about his appearance when he could remember only 
the green light! But more - A blessing of protection. Like the one 
the Witch of North gave Dorothy Gale of Kansas...

I think the scar's a result of a battle of purest love and purest 
hatred; purest good, purest evil. No doubt which wins, is there? Not 
any more, not since Harry Potter survived AK-curse...
