:D He's the most complex character I always thought - on the goodguy's side but he had chosen the bad for some reason, and now decided again. He was the one who chose, unlike Harry who just happened to be. His morality is hard - and he's making a hard choice every day, every time he breathes. And yet he's not nice about it - why should he be anyway? No one's actually been nice to him. Everyone just wants to use him.
Draco, I liked because he was potentially interesting. He was the one born to the bad-side, and yet isn't given a real second chance. Harry keeps hating him all the time and Draco's not really allowed to redeem himself - that's what I disliked about how JKRowling handled him. This is why I loved Maya's handling of him - he's far more complex than he was in the books.
Neville - well, I didn't see much of him, but he has a lot of potential. I read a fic where it's called Harry Potter and the Year of Darkness, which was actually about Neville and how he handled the resistance in Hogwarts on the Seventh Year. Now that one, that one was good. Though I didn't like how the girls were percieved as eternally delicate and pretty. but at least they fought, at least they had brains.
Mostly I thought Harry shouldn't have had to apologise - and what's more, I thought at least Harry should have realised that. Because it seemed that he felt he was wrong, in the end.
