I really enjoyed this. I recently had to write a thesis paper for my minor (English with a concentration in Pro Writing) and this is essentially the same argument I took up. The argument of 'right vs. wrong' has always fascinated me, and you've captured it perfectly in the monologue.
Keep up the great work, and I look forward to reading more from you!

You are absolutely right, of course, there is no good or evil-at least, not in the sense most people think of. I think JKR does hint to that, as well-she gives Sirius somewhat of a dick personality, even in OotP when he is mean to Kreacher, and with how he treated Snape when he was younger. Also, in DH (I'm not sure if you wrote this before or after) the Malfoys really beleive in what they fight for, but they love their son to death. I am glad that you can look deeper, read teh books and really understand that they are all people, even the ones we'd rather not like to consider as such. Did you know Hitler loved dogs, adn it is said he never once cheated on Eva Braun? I liek to imagine those we consider evil (Hitler, Charles Manson, etc) in every day situations, like eating, or buying things at teh grocery, adn having normal conversations, because they are people too, even if we don't agree with them. And it would, of course, be natural that a souble agent would start to view the bad guys as normal people, and start to 'care' or 'like' them, even if they didnt' necessarily like their belief structure. Hell, there are people who share my opinions that I don't really like.
Anyway, have yo uread The Scarlet Letter, or at least seen the movie? What you wrote really reminds me of that, because there is a quote in there that goes something like "Who knows what is sin in God's eyes?" and I think that you would be able to appreciate that.

to quoye your own words back to you, darling,
'no hatin'
if you don't like my stuff please don't bother to waste my time with your stuck up prep school opinions. I based my assertion on what the fans liked by looking at how many stories had for example Draco/Hermione pairings.
You wouldn't know a clear writing style if it jumped up and bit you judging by this aptly named drabble.
Completely right or wrong?
Honey, you're wrong on so many levels that i don't have the space to list them.
good day to you, $cribe
