Anne, I apologise, if I insulted you, I really am and yes, I do know 
that you and Kneasy were teasing each other (i really hope that I did 
not insult him with my remark of him and me reading different books - 
although I still think so) . Othervise, of course I don't know who he 
is.

I am trying no to take myself too seriously, but as I also mentioned 
to you all what I am asking is for you not to make inferences of my 
views based on the fact what HP characters I like.


As to defending Harry as if he was real, well, it is acceptable to 
look at him within the story, right?

I may respond in more details tomorrow.



Sorry again.

Good night.
