All shipping is presumptive!

Why on earth should JK Rowling want to parallel Draco and Snape, why 
not Draco and Lucius. He is portrayed IC as a spoilt Immature 
unplesant little boy, Why the rush to give him any credence at all?

Shipping is a pretty pointless exercise - it can lead to so much ill 
feeling. Everybody has their own ideas and the fact is we have to 
wait and see. I am inclined to agree that all romances (never dating 
in English) will be very light. As for Cho - a superior stalking 
horse and not a main character IMO unlike Snape whim I believe has a 
big part to play.
