I remember someone wonderfully once saying that listen, Snape was cardboard too--he was just very thick cardboard.
*snickers* Despite being a Snape fan, I love this quote! Because he is a caricaure most times (come on, he is/was the stereotypical Mean Teacher at the Boarding School). I remember this great post on HPfGU by someone called Neri which was basically JKR's recipe for an anti-hero. I recall it often because it was so hilariously true. And yeah, he's a complete ass, but he drives the plot forward like no one else can! It was basically his eavesdropping on the Prophecy that's the starting point of everything... (Or so I like to kid myself)
though basically this author is just having her first experience running into people who don't like her favorite character.
Yep, I feel her pain too. It's lucky for her she likes the character who's gets the Seal of Author Approval. Still this article was much better IMO then the Guardian (or was it the Observer?) one that appeared after Lumos last year.
