One for Sorrow

I totally agree. I mean, it would make it easier for a lot of people if human beings weren't so complicated that what one wrote about was *exactly* what one did in real life, and if fictional children=real children. But they don't, and people write about things for different reasons, and people who write fanfic are capable of seeing these characters as fictional constructs and not children. The problem is never going to be that Harry is suffering real damage no matter what you do to him, so if you have a problem it's got to be something else.
