Alla:

Hmmm, many were already mentioned. I certainly well will not mention 
identifying with Harry, I feel for him often enough.


But I just mention the death of the Dobby again. JKR can certainly 
make me cry and emphacise with the characters I would not expect to.

I was never very fond of Dobby ( did not hate him, but found him 
annoying), but OMG, his death just made me cry.

Even I was moved by Harry's *abandoned boys* line, that made me see 
Harry's forgiveness much better than him naming his kiddo after Snape.



But I think the most surprise was Dumbledore. I won't rehash my 
attitudes towards DD in general, but OMG I was soooo sure that if it 
will be revealed that DD ordered Snape to kill him, DD can go to 
whatever literary Hell exists in Potterverse and I won't shed a tear.

I was SO sure, if we get DD the puppetmaster, I will do that same 
thing.

Well, what do you know? Dumbledore looking like the little boy 
seeking reassurance just did that for me - I cried, and I completely 
felt for him (not that I did not want to strangle him many times 
before), but remorse just does that for me. The clear one, I mean ;)

Alla.
