Am I the only one a little bothered by Dumbledore? Not only with the fact he could end up in the Guinness Book Of World Records for "Most Incompetent Headmaster of All Time" (though I'm sure there's worse. :P), but also because...he just bugs me. I know JKR was trying to write him as the "flawed Yoda", so to speak (and to be fair, he's nowhere near Yoda. XD), but it's also how...preachy he gets. Towards Fudge, for example. You know, in Goblet of Fire, with, "You place too much importance on purity of blood, yadda yadda et cetera et cetera" -- which considering how he treated Tom Riddle and the Slytherins is...slightly hypocritical isn't it? Probably bad writing on JKR's part, though. :/

Anyways, sorry 'bout the rambling. Thoughts?

"Not only that, but Lily was no ordinary young woman. She was a trained warrior, an Order of the Phoenix member. She had probably been in battle before. Yet when she was attacked by someone she knew was on the hunt for her and her family, and who had given her warning by killing her husband, she just stood there and begged for mercy, like some Muggle picked at random off the street. How stupid is that?

I've heard children inherit their intelligence from their mothers. That appears to be true in Harry's case."

Must not laugh...must not laugh...

What the hell; you win a free Internet. XD
