Betsy Hp:
This one is, in one way, harder, because there were few characters I 
cared at all about by the end.  However... in a sense it's easier 
because there was a small, tiny fraction of characters that I wanted 
to rescue from that dark and brutal world the wizards had created: 
The Malfoys.  They were, of course, as shallow and as lame as only 
Slytherins can be, and Draco crossed the line from high-strung right 
into biggest wuss in the history of wusses, but it's hard for me to 
completely throw-out the promise shown in scenes from other books.  
His grit and determination, etc.  Plus, the love that family has for 
each other was actually made cannon, oddly enough.  So I feel like 
there's still some core there to be worked with.  Sort of.  If I 
squint. <g>

Snape, unfortunately...  God, he was so horribly abused, and my heart 
aches for him suffering under Dumbledore for so long.  But I kind of 
feel like he'd be harder to rescue in that I don't think he *wanted* 
to be rescued.  I think his death *was* his rescue as far as he was 
concerned.  Which is incredibly sad, but there it is. ::sigh::
