It's funny. my best friend wants to marry her, and I can't stand her (even if I love to write her, pull her strings so to speak). I spent a lot of my high school years avoiding girls like her. actually, I spent a lot of the same tome avoiding boys like Sirius, but I like him when he's safely on a page.

oddly though, I don't dislike Harry/Ginny. It shows his Oedipus complex.

No, Snape can't take a present with grace, at least not from Harry. I had the last scene in my head for a while, and just needed to get to it.
