yeah, I'd say that is unhealthy. But Rita's actually implying 
pedophilia here or at least that is what I thought. 

Potioncat:
That was the same feeling I had. It doesn't have to be stated, given 
the wide range of readers, but it's the most serious accusation you can 
make against someone who frequently works with youth. 

Paired with the comment that she and Harry are close friends, it made 
my blood boil.

Potioncat would like to thank Anita for her thoughtful questions.
