Oh, that is probably the answer I like the most so far. :)

Alla:

Snort, indeed. But at least as you said this is not a Snape thread. 
I tried to do my share in  starting not about him  conversation:) I 
am sure that when JKR started her work she had no idea that us would 
look for clues in every word of her writing. I am sure she did not 
think about small inconsistencies and such, but on the other hand, 
isn't it a HUGE sign of her success that we do hang to her words 
trying to guess what is  going to happen next.


kchuplis:
But I also think Pansy is sure getting a bit of a free pass  
> here! She's a little twit and toady and very unpleasant.

Alla:

Yes, of course she is and she is from Slytherin house too. :)

 Marietta is

also.  

Alla:

Bad Hermione, very very bad, how dare she tried to protect her 
comrades in the time of war against the treachery. Nah, if only 
Hermione would have been less bossy, I would love her character 
without limits. It had been said many times that Hermione is a good 
influence on Harry and Ron. I think Harry and Ron are also a very 
good influence on her. :)

Alla:

Of course they do need defending :) If only we could agree on who 
the bad guys really are besides Voldemort , but then where would be 
the fun in all this?

Alla,

who has a feeling that if she rereads her post, she would find it a 
bit weak on content, therefore she does not.
