Probably the main reason I noticed it as much as I did is that that was one of the few spoilers I read pre-HBP: Blaise is black, he's attracted to Ginny but thinks she's a blood traitor. I thought it couldn't be true. Not that he was black but I thought please, God, let him not be attracted to Ginny because everyone must be.

I'm beginning to like ChorusGirl!Mom for Blaise. I had really only thought it couldn't be because it didn't seem like it was held against Blaise when he presented himself as equal to, like, Draco. But then I thought you know, maybe she's just accepted.
