it doesn’t occur to him that since he overheard the idea that he’s possessed from an Order member, if it were unsafe for him to be at Order headquarters he wouldn’t be let in Well, that would require confidence in their superior knowledge. I wouldn't have it, either, to be honest.
I do hope, btw, that the reason Harry is really convinced of this is that he’s beginning to figure out that his own attitudes are not innocent or healthy in themselves, and could be hurting him while he’s just blaming them on Voldemort To anybody who might be interested in this side of things, I highly recommend Fourth rose's current fic "Not in the hands of boys" (http://Fourth-rose.livejournal.com). It's a WIP, but updated very regularly.
"Lucky you." Ginny’s such a badass. *kicks character in the shin* I think I have to step in here to defend OotP-Ginny who I really liked. Of course she totally is not the Ginny from the first four books, but I liked her new incarnation. She was self-assured but not psychotic like in HBP. Above all, she only bitched when there was reason for it (like in this chapter!). In fact, I thought it wasn't so much about Harry not having pitied her enough, but about him being so self-centered as not to even think about the whole issue in a reasonable fashion instead of having hysterics.
This Ginny would have honestly impressed Tom with her awesome evilness. Where is she evil in OotP?
They don’t open their presents under the tree with everybody all together? Funny you should mention this. I've always wondered whether this might be the way christmas presents were treated in Britain. So, is it?
And Lupin steps in to calm Molly down—Lupin’s role as emotional pacifier is getting a little creepy. It’s a wonder nobody writes Lupin/Molly. Nah, it's just what the nice gay friends always do! Comforting the women-folk.
I wonder what Neville would have been like with Narcissa for a mother--you know, the mother who doesn't reject her child for not being violent enough. Goodness, he might have turned out a Slytherin! I mean, the true Gryffindor way of mother love is to protect your son with your own life, until he is old enough to die a hero - and then cheer him on towards committing assisted suicide!
why drop it because Hermione tells him you can’t apparate in Hogwarts, it’s in Hogwarts, a History? I kept waiting for this to bite them in the arse sooner or later. I mean, they always assumed that everything in a book was true, although most things about Voldemort quite clearly constituted something that had not happened before, so how on earth should any book provide fool-proof facts about it?
