va32h:

A person's point of view is irrelevant to the way they perceive other 
people or their actions?  I think *that's* utter nonsense. 

It doesn't matter if it's true or not - how many times has Harry's 
POV been at odds with the truth?  And Marietta is now EVIL? Oh 
please. Just. Please. Evil on the scale of Voldemort, evil? Give me a 
break. 

But gosh, you know, you're right.  Marietta got off easy with acne - 
Hermione should have dragged her out into the forest to be stomped to 
death by Centaurs.  Goodness knows that the only person in the HP 
universe who is allowed to make stupid, adolescent, ill-informed 
decisions is Harry Potter, whose stupid, adolescent, ill-informed 
behavior is always excusable even when it kills (Sirius) or seriously 
injures (Draco, Hermione) other people or puts his friends in 
jeopardy (umm...every damn book).
