Thank you!

Potioncat:
Wonderful post, Pippin. I'd love to add something that would keep the conversation going--but I think you covered it. I thought JKR was showing us different types of love, but you're view is that in this series we see love the way different flawed persons experience or show love. Let me mull that over.
