thanks I did pick up on the wwii stuff earlier as I think several other people did. i just expected it to be kept more general, and I wanted to see more emphasis on house-unity to over come evil (which could be taken easily at face value, or in a general sense of people coming together, or if you wanted to go the WWII parallel rout then they could be how all the countries had to work together etc). Of course Harry is meant to defeat Voldemort- no complaints with that as part of the expected plot, but dropping the ball on the house unity (among so many other things) and having harry save the day in that ministry scene turned it from something i could see read on different levels, to something that felt overly mary-sued, insensitive and offensive to my past.
