Hi list members, heres some thoughts to think about.
Life of Merope.
1. If any one was abused in the HP books it was Merope.
2. She was almost killed by that locket chain, She was verbally abused
by not only Gaunt but Morfin as well, She lived in a shack out in the
middle of know wear where hardly know one saw her,Talk about isolation.
She came out of it okay but the effects were great.
Know wonder she didn't like using her magic powers. She was so down that
she didn't feel like using them. If I was her I wouldn't be feeling very
magical either. Since we're on the abuse topic here are 3 people that are
way worse than Snape could ever be.
1. Umbridge by far.
2. Gaunt a close second and Morfin a distant third.
Now on to the topic of Hermione and Miss Fleur.
1. Hermione doesn't respect Fleur in my eyes. Want cannon to validate
this? Here it is. I believe in Ron's room Harry, Ginny, and Hermione are
all talking. Harry and Ron are talking about Fleur. don't have the tape
in front of me so I'm going on memory.Hermione says "not you as well",referring to Harry. This to me is a lack of respect of Fleur. Now that I think of it it might have been Ginny who said that, but I could be wrong. If any one knows let me know. I think Hermione sees Fleur as this long haired cocky little villa girl who just gets by on looks and talent and in her opinion Fleur can't fight very well. If JKR allows it to be I think Fleur will more than hold her own JMO of course.
Your fellow list member, Corey
