Is it a letdown, or is it consistent with the Platonic view of Good
and Evil? In this view, Draco is evil because he believes his father
and refuses to follow DD, so I guess it is morally right to give up on
him. Just like I suppose it could be said that it is morally right to
give up on a whole bunch of kids who have the wrong priorities
(ambition instead of courage or loyalty).


Alla:

It seems to be VERY consistent with Platonic view of Good and Evil (I 
only studied Plato VERY briefly during general philosophy course in 
college), but I don't have to like it much. :o)



Del :
I think Snape is convinced he's already figured Harry out, and that
Harry would lie to him if they talked.

Alla:

100% agreement, but  he is wrong, wrong, wrong. :o)

JMO,

Alla
