Ahaha - well once again I guess I was trying to shoehorn more real world complexity into her story then JKR desired (or was capable of... ouch!).
So this makes me wonder two things:
1) What inspired her to write thousands of pages of story in which good people are born good and bad people bad - and then good defeats bad? Did she really feel like she needed to get that out there?
2) I wonder if these books would be as popular as there are now if she was better able to express her true intent with the characters - i.e. no subtle shadings or real internal struggles. I'm guessing a lot of her adult readers have perhaps been reading more into it than she had intended? -Cindy
