I do like Luna, and I, too, think she has a very spiritual take on 
things.  But, why is her character so....odd?  I don't get why she 
has to be someone that people giggle at or make fun of.  I mean, JKR 
could have done that same thing with the character without making 
her look like a fool that believes crazy things.  

All I know is that I will go mad if she and Harry end up together.  
Not that Harry needs to end up with any girl, but NOT THAT ONE.
