bboy_mn swears that a Ravenclaw didn't write this for him:

"If this was a story about a saint; about a boy who never did anything
wrong, who always had the perfect answer to every problem then it
would be no story at all. If you think kids will respond to prefect
little Sunday school stories, you are sadly mistaken. The reason kids
get some much out of these books is because the books have degrees of
moral ambiguity. "

(me:)
The reason I get so much out of it is because I think JKR is a 
brilliant writer. All of her characters are very complex, very three 
dimensional. There's some good, some bad, in every one of her 
creations, with the possible exception of LV. That's one of the most 
amazing things about her writing, IMHO.
