*snuggles Mr. Finnigan* What a fantastic father and just, oh, such a sweet little familial relationship.

Whoa! It came across as sweet? I'm really, really surprised.

To me, this situation feels like love attempting to find the least evil choice available--I think it's good to know how to defend one's self, but I don't think either learning it or teaching it are sweet, per se.

Maybe you meant something different by sweet? I'm curious, if you feel like saying more. Thanks!

I think I was really looking at him reaching out to Seamus, knowing that he can't teach him anything about magic, but doing what he thought as the next best thing to try and keep his son safe.

I am a sucker for father/child relationship stuff.

Ah, just an unexpected word for what I was trying to write. (Yay!) I am probably the opposite of a sucker for father/child relationship stuff, so it's good to have your perspective!
