Sharon:
Why does everyone assume that Ron is a sloppy kisser? That seems to come across 
in a lot of fanfic as well. Is it because Ron is a bit of a softie? Why isn't Harry a 
sloppy kisser? I don't think Draco kisses anyone in the books, but in fanfic he is 
always a masterful kisser -- why is that? I guess it all has to do with character? 
Ron's character is very emotional and insecure and he is a fool for Hermione, but 
there is nothing in canon about him being a bad kisser. Lavender definitely seems 
to like it! :-)
