If you could change one thing about the world, what would it be? There are so many things that could be changed in the world and which mabe should be changed, but if I had any power to change any one thing I'd get rid of AIDS. I think that'd be a way of benefiting as many people as possible.
Who is your favorite Hogwarts teacher? I'm torn here. I do like Dumbledore, but I shared Harry's urge to smash things in that OotP scene. McGonagall is very classy - I'd love to be able to command the amount of respect she does, as well as having that wonderful 'it unscrews the other way, Peeves' side! One of my favourite characters in the books is Remus Lupin and I think he is a fantastic teacher. And then there's Hagrid who, although an unorthodox teacher, is such a darling that you can't help loving him!
Who is your favorite character in Harry Potter? These are hard questions. I'm very fond of Remus Lupin. I also love Ron and his humour. Okay, i love mos of them. I really like the character Ginny is turning into as well.
Who is your least favorite character in Harry Potter? Lucius Malfoy. He doesn't have the comedy (or plot) value of his son, nor the interestingness (as a character, purely) of Snape, Pettigrew or Voldemort.
What makes a person respectable? In whose eyes? Respectability is subjective. In my eyes respecability is belief in your own worth and the worth of others. You have convitctions, morals and considerations and you are prepared to state and stand up for them.
What is your take on religion? I'm fine with religion as long as it makes you a better person. I believe that a force of Good runs through the world, in that humans are capable of great good.
What do you think about house elves? I think they should have Self-determination. They should be able to decide what'd make them happiest. I also think I'd like a house-elf as a flatmate (not a slave)!
What do you look for in a friend? Love, humour, kindness, strength, loyalty, morality, solidarity
Would you rather have friends and family or money and success? friends and family.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I'd get rid of my bouts of self-pity.
What do you feel is your best quality? I'm very loving. I'd do anything for people I love.
What are your hobbies? Reading, writing, rowing, archery, chatting with friends, animals (dog walking/ riding).
Do you want to have children? Yes. very much so.
Have or would you give time and money to a charity? Yes, but not to an excessive extent.
If your friend was attacked (by a person, animal, or (in the magic world) beast), what would you do? I really hope I wouldn't run. I really hope I'd try to protect them. I think I would.
What is the one thing you would most like to accomplish? Having a family
Who is your role model? I don't have one role model, but there are many people whose qualities I admire and to which I aspire.
What trait most annoys you about other people? selfishness
What do you want to do for a living? I'd love to be a writer. I can see myself as a teacher, though.
Would you ever use an Unforgivable Curse for any reason? No. I don't think there can be a reason.
What house do you think DOESN'T fit you? (This question is optional for those who feel they just DO NOT fit in a house. Please explain WHY.) I don't think I'd fit in Slytherin. Not just because of the bad press they get in the books - I am sure there are some very nice ones - but because I am not ambitious, or sly, or cunning. I'm very straight forward and so I think I'm too blundering for a Slytherin, if that makes sense.
What do you think are your top five abilities or qualities? Gernerosity, loving, listening/understanding, self-reliance, peace-keeping
