>>>Assuming you have not changed your mind since your last post and your
complaint is not with Harry but with JKR then the answer is yes, it's
childish. A fictional character has no duty to take the moral high
ground, his only duty is to be interesting. I don't happen to like
Saturday morning cartoons but if you do that's fine, there is no
disputing matters of taste.<<<


Marion:
Amazing how some people can write post after post about how dreadful, how dastardly, how *crool* certain fictional schoolteachers can be ("a teacher who treated a very nice boy - and all his friends - like shit for 6 years because he didn't like the boy's father. Is that man evil? I tend to think he is, not Hitler level evil of course, but evil nevertheless" as by your post nr 172925) , but are somehow totally okay with a fictional schoolboy's gleeful torturing.

Ah well, it's a matter of taste, I suppose, but *I* wouldn't call such a boy 'very nice' :-)
