Well, Harry is by far my favourite character. But there are other 
characters in the books, you know. There are only few of them, which 
I immensely dislike. I happen to love Sirius, like Snape, when he is 
not a jerk, etc, etc.


I will never see what in Harry's character is worthy of hate, but 
other people do, so I gotta respect that.

I NEVER understand how what Snape does to children could be 
justified, but other people do and I have to respect it as well.


There are some ideas in RL, which I think have no right to exist 
(Yes, there are limits to free speech, guys :o)) Hate speech, for 
example, but love of the character of Severus Snape is surely NOT one 
of those ideas. :o)
