(no subject)

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?

HP Lexicon is Anti-Snape, Too

[oneandthetruth.livejournal.com]

On the much-touted Lexicon their list of half-bloods includes everybody except Snape--even though he has a book named after him.

Even worse, they deliberately lie about SWM. This is what they say about Scourgify: "James Potter used this spell to "wash out" Snape's mouth when the latter called Lily a Mudblood just after their Defence Against the Dark Arts O.W.L. (OP28)." This makes it look like James was gallantly (like father, like son) defending poor suffering Lily's honor from that awful bigot Snape, when what really happened was that Snape was attacked with Scourgify before Lily even came on the scene. This is a serious and significant whitewash of James's bullying (no pun intended).

In January of last year, I sent them a polite email in which I pointed out these errors. They neither responded nor corrected them. I therefore have to assume they've decided to deliberately lie by both omission and commission.

*Sarcasm failure*
