While I agree with most of this post, I think one
thing to keep in mind is that giggling girls are
extremely common at this age, at least they were
when I was growing up.  So, is this necessarily a
stereotype or trying to portray actual behavior
for the age.  Take Angelina for example.  She's
giggling in PoA and yet in GoF when Fred asks her
to the Yule Ball there isn't giggling but a
smile.  That suggests there has been some growth
in maturity.

(who thinks Cruciatius Cowards would be a cool
band name herself, courtesy of Jenny's post, and
wonders if Darrin minds if women comment on cute
butts when he's watching basketball with them
though they were much more obvious back in the
80s when the shorts were shorter and tighter)
