Valky:
I didn't think cheesy, really either. But then I never liked Severus
all that much. I like Harry's bravado and I entitle him to it, he
outdrew Snape in the DADA class.  Maybe we'll get that mexican
standoff between these two, it would be more appropriate in the plot
wouldn't it ;D(although I did giggle lots at Eggplants suggestion for
the final face off).
 

phoenixgod2000:
Sorry, the cheesiest line in the book is when Harry actually uses the
word Hark in a sentence and he isn't singing a christmas song.

I could not get over that one.

Valky:
Where did he say that? I'm curious, I don't remember it. 
I dunno about cheesy there either, I think hark is still in common use
in Britain, among the blue collar mob. Ever seen EastEnders?
