I know everyone here is allowed to speak their minds and express their 
own oppinions, but I can't help feeling stick to my stomach when I 
hear certain things. 

Such as the possibility of Harry being abusive to Ginny while they 
dated. I am one of those people who suggested using your imagination 
to fill in the blanks in the H/G ship. Yet, I never thought anyone 
would go that far. I mean, this is HARRY we're talking about. If you 
can atually picture him treating someone he deeply cares about in such 
a way, then you're undermining, as well as underestimating his 
character. I've never seen him being insubordinate to anyone, let 
alone intetionally hurtful (that's excluding his behavior towards 
Malfoy, Snape, the Dursleys, etc). 

I also disagree with the "love potion=date-rape drug" theories I've 
been reading. I completely understand why a love potion would be 
considered to be the magical version of that drug, only I don't 
understand why it's being associated with 14 year-old kids in a book 
series that's never once had a dialogue about sex, or a mention of the 
word itself. Not to say that 14 year-olds don't think about sex, but 
this is a bit out of line.
