One for Sorrow

I think it's also important to distinguish "writing stories about consensual sex in which at least one participant would be too young to have legal consensual sex if (s)he were a real person and not a fictional character" from "writing about pedophilia." In a very material way, the HP characters (f'rex) are not children; they are routinely exposed to a variety of risks, situations, and difficult decisions that children are not ordinarily (much less legally!) exposed to, and are called upon to accept responsibilities and act in ways that children would not ordinrily (or legally!) be called upon to act. So that exposing them to sexual situations that RL children could not legally be exposed to is not necessarily an expression of pedophilia either on the part of the author
