I think I want to do that meme now, which you did on Bella. Sounds interesting indeed! And I'm not sure whether I think she started crazy, or Voldemort pushed her over the edge.. actually I'm inclined to believe the further, as that would make her the true, devoted follower I think she is, who was looking for a leader uncompromising enough to appreciate her nature.
Really, in retrospective your writing and then your comment on Minerva made me think the most I guess. I agree about everything you said here; she really knows too much about life to be uptight, and also it's not like her at all to thank Harry for committing a crime. Again, well done on her.
There are no greys in Harry's world. - *sigh* So true. The main reason to make me hate this otherwise truly loveable universe.
It's interesting you don't like Molly in canon - I'm sure she's one of those characters most readers take to, because he's giving Harry a home so readily, is both mum and defender, etc etc. She screams COSY all over the place ;) Let's say, I generally prefer edgy people over nice ones, so I'm no fan of hers either. I like what you said about her, but would you care to explain it a little more? Which or how does she not accept boundaries?
And when reading both hers and Dolores' drabble, the parallel I noticed was that both did something contradicting their general beliefs - but both to achieve a "higher goal", and therefore playing into their true character, after all. What to make out of this, though, I have yet to decide! ;)
I'm very glad the comment made you think about your own writing - I agree, it's great if feedback does that. You're most welcome!
