Or maybe he just automatically has to be contrary to
whatever Hermione says at this point in his life <g>.

Oh, and concerning werewolfes (I'm not all that
knowledgeable about them), are they all safely going
somewhere during their "dangerous" phase, like Lupin?

I mean, even Lupin had his lapses, and while he, and any
other werewolves might later regret having bitten somebody,
it would be too late for the newest victim.

It isn't Lupin's fault that he became a werewolf, but I can
also understand other people's fear of them.

Ron is not perfect, and Harry is only *almost* perfect
(<g>), but then, who can claim to be totally without any
prejudice?

I don't think I would enjoy HP all that much, if all the
"good guys/gals" were completely, 100%, without fail
perfect, never a doubt.
Same for the "bad ones".

Anyway, if it came to a choice between Ron and Draco, I
wouldn't have any problems choosing.

While I think Draco might make some right choices in the
future, I don't like his personality at all at this point
and have my doubts that he would turn into a loyal friend
who would die for me ;)
