Just a bit snipped

Harry Potter 'saga' or 'journey' if you will, is a quest of its own,
(IMO)  I read somewhere that writers have about 6 'plots' to choose 
from, and that Shakespeare used them all, which means we are all 
plagerizing.   :-}

Just a bit more snipped.

Perhaps, if it doesn't interfere with Harry's quest.  He has all the 
attributes of a knight.  Using 'wormtail' for PP is brilliant, IMO, 
because it definitely sets the tone JKR wanted to establish.

For those who have never read LOR, worms are still considered 
nature's lowest lifeform.  PP got the lowest reserved for any Judas, 
the tail!
