Amanda Writes:

I am at the point in which Harry and Ron are going to force
Lockhart to help them. Now was hiring of Lockhart a DD mistake,
or was just another peice of the puzzle to make Harry face
Voldemort again? It seems another serious lack in judgement
on DD part yet again hiring him, because he is the exact
opposite of everything he claims to have written. From the
moment you first read about him he bleeds FRAUD.

I also believe that as a character who has so much to do with
the happenings of the story his back story was nil, and what
gave him any credentials to teach. OMG So he wrote a book or 7.
He can not do anything but smile compentently, so how did he get
his story printed.

All he really seems to be is a bookmark to start the seeming
unending bad decisions that DD makes about dealing with the
students and most of all Harry.

The one thing that seemed to fit was what happened to Lockhart
in the end of the book, he becomes truly as ditzy as he comes
off. Why is it we never hear DD ever have to fess up to those
who have been wronged at the time it was proven, with the
exception of the first book, and the final book.

Why is there such little backstory on his parents as they are
two of the biggest characters who are not truly in action of
being involved. They are almost constantly being mentioned, but
the story you get of his mother leads you to question how good
she was when she let Severus torture her sister. When she let
James torture Severus. With James all you see is the conceited
kid he was in school. Then all the sudden they are married and
have Harry. That is what we know. Oh and then you find out they
were origninal members of the OofP 'til Lilly get pregnant. Then
they hide and then they die. Yet, we are expected to believe they
are good and Severus is evil. You can see where there is a bit of
backwards thought involved. Is it lack of forethought or is the
story builds so fast there is no time to add a better story-line
for these characters?
