I agree with what Travis (at least i'm pretty sure it was Travie) said in re: to hoping one of the "good guys" does turn out to be gay. I would be all for it! But JKR has already said that she is not trying to teach any moral lessons through these books, so i have a feeling that she'll stay away from that, even though she would have the power to teach a lot by doing so.

And you've probably never been on such an active list of more than 6500 people! I know i haven't. The rules are neccessary. I would HATE to see what would happen if all of the restrctions were suddenly AK'd by Voldemort! The rules are what keep this list the best Harry Potter list in existence :)

I have no idea where the list originated as i am not a mod and haven't been around that long myself. But i DO know that the mods are most certainly not so anal to reject a post because a comma was, in, the, wrong, place. So sit back and enjoy the ride :)
