I loved this; Pansy and Molly's stories especially. The part at the end of Pansy's section, about how Minerva sends the Slytherin kids out to a situation where some will be required to fight on Voldemort's side — I'd never actually thought of it like that, but she didn't only dismiss them, she actively withdrew her protection. I love McGonagall, but in that situation, she's got Gryffindoritis as badly as anyone.

It's so easy to make Pansy the villain, but it's cartoonish, and giving her reasons that make sense feels so much more real.

What really got to me in the Molly section was how naturally she included Hermione and Harry among her children. That actually made me tear up for a moment. :) I thought all of the stories were insightful and interesting, though. Wonderful job!
