And again that's another assumption that really gets my goat; that I'm bound not to like Potter Major et al because of what they did to poor 'Snapey-poo'.
I hate James and the rest of MWPP (well...I have a sneaking admiration for Peter!) and I'm not a rabid Snape fan. (A lot of Snape fans and Draco fans that I've seen don't even get along, which is so stupid, since we're essentially on the same side!)
I didn't like Sirius as soon as he appeared in PoA. Likewise for Lupin. James was just a Heroic Cipher (and wait - OotP was a transitional book. Come Book Six/Seven, we'll learn how Lily's Love Redeemed James and how he heroically Saved Snape and in general became the Order member who sacrificed himself for his family. *yawns*)
I'm now appreciating Snape a little more, but I'm certainly not a 'OMG, someone hurt my poor angsty Sevvy-Poo!!111 DIE' type. (I like to champion really hopeless cases, and Snape's been marked since Book One, like Neville, as having More To Him, maybe Heroically Dying for Harry...Doesn't fascinate me wildly, I'm afraid.)
