how many people already feel this way, but if he does turn out to be 
a bad guy after all, how would that affect your affinity for him?

I find him interesting more as a psychological study than anything 
else (Kelley knows, I think, that I'm in love with a certain 
werewolf).  

I'm really hoping she doesn't make him ESE, for like Ginger, I think 
then all those wonderful lines he has would be pure meanness, and not 
wit (and unlike Ginger, I've used some of them in RL).   

Besides, IMHO, she's got one heck of a lot to make up for with the 
next two books for OOtP (I still have not forgiven her for killing 
Sirius).
