Potioncat:

I know you asked about "a" character, and I've replied once, but I 
was thinking about the characters in general; and also, who would I 
want my son or daughter to bring home for me to meet?

Neville probably gets first place, with Ron and Harry tied for 
second. All of them are brave, caring, loyal. Neville seems to have a 
bit more moral fiber. But maybe that's because we saw less of him.

I wouldn't want any of the Marauders. Remus is the only one who comes 
close. But Remus is weak, and to quick to give up, or back down. 
Besides, if he and I were on the same moon cycle, it could be 
dangerous.

Lupin was friendlier to Harry and did a better job of teaching Harry 
than Snape; but he could have told him much more than he did. Snape 
was really there for Harry through it all and Lupin wasn't.

I'll second Percy as having qualities for a good mate, but I think he 
shares a trait with Snape. He's ambitious and I think he would have 
certain expectations for the wife and kids that would be hard to live 
up to. I can picture Percy's family as almost similar to the 
Dursleys, entertaining the right people to climb the ladder, but on a 
different level, and with style.

OK, Alla, time to reveal your choice!
