post HBP thoughts
ETA:// Part Two!
Is it just me, or was I the only one who constantly noticed Harry made several notable remarks when it came to the appearances of the male characters?
Many times throughout the book he noticed Draco's pallor, complexion, overall appearance, and also continually made note of Tom's handsome looks -- but I can't recall him ever thinking about how pretty or lovely Ginny looked besides that she smelt like flowers. (Or am I just hallucinating?)
With that, I question those who are still compelled to still say Harry can't be gay because he is strictly straight. Often does Harry take time to desribe other male character's appearances, Blaise for example and once more Tom. These kind of slight observations have pushed me to wonder about how J.K. meant that to be; was it unintentional or not?
Also, congrats to you Tom/Harry shippers -- Gah, all the, "Tom's handsome looks," had me wiggling my eyebrows.

Yes all up for grabs, so have fun!
First of all, a lot of people are speculative as to whether Snape really did betray the light side. I mean, there's a whole thread about it on FA, but unfortunately the server is super busy (as I expected!). So in the mean time I'd like to discuss it.
I mean, there are a million people out there who just took what they read in for solid fact, but -- REALLY -- Snape wouldn't just turn his back like that on all Dumbledore's obviously done for him -- keep him safe from Azkaban, give him a job, have faith in him despite his past alliances. And remember when Snape saved Harry's life (numerous times btw) in Sorceror's Stone because he owed it to James for what happened during the time of the Marauders? I mean, just looking at his character, especially since I've grown so fond of him over the years, makes me think that he couldn't have just turned his back on everything he's been fighting for for so long.
Now the real reason I think he killed Dumbledore?
Okay, take this situation. Snape made the Unbreakable Vow with Narcissa, promising he'd keep Draco safe from harm or it would evidently cost him his life. Now, if Draco fails to do what Voldemort wished, he will be killed, as with the rest of his family. So when you think of it that way, he didn't have a choice, and I personally feel Dumbledore would've understood.
See, if Snape had let Draco kill Dumbledore, he'd be doing exactly what Narcissa feared and what she begged him to stop Draco from doing. On the other hand, not killing Dumbledore would've put them in more danger from Voldemort, so either way Snape would've died and broken his vow.
Hope someone's getting this.
Another thought that wandered through my head -- and is most unlikely but it's a thought anyway -- is what if Dumbledore wasn't dead?
I don't know, ever since GoF and the end of OoTP, Evil!Dumbledore is what I had expected the most to discover, not Dead!Dumbledore. We all remember the whole "triumph" in Dumbledore's eyes at the end of GoF and people still wonder why he kept all that information from Harry so long until OoTP.
So dead? Hmm .. The horrible part of me that lacks so much remorse keeps thinking and wondering and speculating, but the other part that cried during his death scene is screaming that he's dead and I should just leave his soul to rest in peace (without harmful accusations). Complicated isn't it?
Tell me what you think, please!
