and the breeding Dementors are a grim foreshadowing of the rampant snogging later in the book.
Hahaha. It's all part of the atmosphere of gloom sweeping the country, as millions of readers realise they'll have to slog through another 389574393748457 pages of wanky UST. But! Dementor/Dementor = OTP! There's a ship I think we can all get behind :)
as if having a vagina were the equivalent to wearing a red shirt in this universe.
Unless the vagina is the mighty muff of Ginny Weasley, of course. But it is curious that female characters get killed off so easily, and that no female characters were capable of becoming MoM. Rowling, once again, seems to think that it is quite enough to mention female names while all the time granting the most power and page-time to males.
the first time in the books in which Narcissa gets a speaking part.
I think we all expected she'd get one eventually (especially since Rowling said she would). Curiously, Crabbe and Goyle remain mute. But anyway, she rather had to, as you say, under the circumstances.
The more discerning ones are considering the fact that he's saying all this to an insecure ('cause she's a girl!), insanely loyal Death Eater, and also ponder what he's not saying, like the time he told Dumbledore about Voldemort's impending return the moment the Mark started regaining strength, or the Occlumency lessons.
I do think that quite a lot of the people in this fandom, despite necessarily expecting plot-twists as a matter of course, still assume that everything we see is the truth. That means that there are still a lot of people saying "Well, he said to Narcissa about all that stuff, why would he say it if it wasn't true?" Well...duh? You think Professor Snape is the epitome of mystery and all that, yet you don't get why he'd lie to Narcissa about stuff? Wait a minute, I have to re-insert my brain, it appears to have come loose.
Personally, as I have said before, I think he's got his own situation going on, and would as soon betray either side. Now that's Slytherin values for you :0
