I'm with you on the Remus/Tonks thing. It NEVER made sense to me. It felt forced, and later on in the story it STILL felt forced, but I could see how Rowling maybe had to make the match happen to set some things up, plot-wise.

Sirius/Remus came as close to canon as it could get, in my opinion. ;P

He didn't seem to even pay any attention to Tonks until after Sirius was taken from him, and even then, he was still always depressed and withdrawn.

Good analysis, especially the points regarding Snape/Remus.

Ha, no, I'm actually not sorry at all. And thanks for all this! In some ways, it really reflects my own views on the character and the fandom.

I mainly asked because I do see him as a really enigmatic and complex character, in a way that's sort of accidental - just, bad conception and writing, and weird casting with Flanagan that actually ends up being more interesting than it would have been with nearly any other actor, because J.F. has such an odd, dorky energy and takes the character to some subversive places, I think. And then this intersection with an extremely smart and meta fandom means that the character got analyzed in really interesting ways, and...yeah, IDK, but it fascinates me.

So, thank you! Because I'm always interested to see what people have to say about Sheppard.

First of all, thank you for not being annoyed by my ranting! I just never get a chance to say stuff like that, especially not in the fandom. It's hard to say this stuff and still be like "I like the character, though!" because there seems to be so little room for complex feelings about certain characters in this fandom. Thank God you did not ask me about Rodney. If you think my feelings about John are ranty and wordy, you do not want to get me started on Rodney! LOL ( ... )
