Still, I suppose as a re-capper, you can’t afford to let these things get to you - otherwise your head would explode.....
Exactly. There are things that do get to me. Like Dumbledore protecting Harry from the lure of the Deathly Hallows by making the Deathly Hallows all interesting and mysterious.
If I were to start ranting about the secret-keeper thing these recaps would be even longer!
Maybe she means he’s unwilling to praise any Wizard, so acknowledges Harry’s efforts* with some reluctance. Personally, I’d use the word ‘grudgingly’ instead, but I’m no world famous author.
There we go! Grudgingly. That describes it perfectly and doesn't make my eyeballs hurt.
What about Madame Hooch? Unless she's also gay.
Hehe. In my epic that still floats around in my head sometimes, Snape is propositioned shortly after arriving at Hogwarts (as a teacher) by some of the female professors. Among them are Vector and Hooch, who come to him as a pair. They politely offer to let him join them occasionally, according to a complicated schedule that they have worked out. They also warn him that the longer he remains at Hogwarts, the slimmer his prospects are likely to get.
