Montavilla47:
Hehe.  Well, it isn't Prejudice so much as Pride, right?  I'm headdesking
right now because I never realized the Harry/Draco = Elizabeth/Darcy
connection before.  

No wonder people slash Harry/Draco!

I wonder if Jane Austen had produced Pride and Prejudice as a 
serial novel if people would have been outraged when Elizabeth
got together with Darcy at the end instead of whatshisname.

And if anyone would have written fanfics in which Darcy was 
conveniently killed off, or else shown to be a wife-beater....
