something wicked
So, that scene at the end, with Lupin packing up and all that. It made me go "hmmm."
Yeah.
Things like Lupin saying (paraphrased and misquoted, whee!) "someone let slip... what I am" and "the owls will start arriving" and "parents won't want 'someone like me' teaching their children", etc, etc. HELLO, METAPHOR HIDDEN-MEANING THING. Yeah. I took Lupin as either (or both) a metaphor for a gay man, or a man with HIV/AIDS. Most likely both.
Alfonso, if this was your doing, and you meant it like that... I love you. (Actually, I kinda felt this way about Lupin in the books as well, so... JK Rowling, I love you too. In that platonic way, y'know?)
Also, the scene in the beginning with Harry, heh, playing with his wand under the covers. Yeah. Wink wink.
I want to reread the books now. *heart*
