"And when you talk about LV's soul being a stunted, maimed baby, 
can't you see that you're creating an image that's likely to 
trigger pity? "Unwanted, stuffed out of sight, struggling for 
breath" - that's what he always was, from the beginning, and 
that's how you chose to end him. Sauron was at least a grown-up."

That's what he chose to be. Yes, he had a raw deal from 
childhood, but he made his choices and must live--or not--
with the consequences.  At any time he could have turned 
back from the road on which he started, but he wouldn't. 
Even at the very end, Harry extended the hand of 
econciliation, but he refused to take it. He made 
his bed--let him lie down on it.

forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle 
remains pure in heart."--Iris Murdoch
