That's why I always get so frustrated with my school friends. Sometimes I wish they'd just leave me alone, far from their stupidity! Why wouldn't I want to marry you, darling?

Yeah, I've got friends who make straight D's and C's and make horrible decisions about their lives (such as smoking or getting pregnant at 15). Not to mention that many of them can't spell or do basic math. 16 in math? What's a 16 equivalent to? You don't believe in polygamy?

you dont do percents in america? why not? its so much more accurate....I mean that, out of one hundred percent, he got a 16%...and my other friend, Kevin, got a 26% ( they arent really stupid...just in math...) and maybe...but still, you'd have competition for my affection...on second thought...just fight it out *sits back and watches*

Oh, you didn't say percent. Of course we do. Though some of my teachers are too lazy to calculate percents, so they often just give us points earned out of points possible on small assignments and let us do the math ourselves. I suppose that's more accurate, though, especially considering that our grades as a whole are determined that way. . . Yeah, right, like anyone stands a chance against ME. ;D

I just read this comment on Leaky's forum: "I read in one of Jo's recent interviews that we should be asking 'Why does Harry wear glasses?' It has to have something to do with Harry having Lily's eyes, but I can't figure what. What if his glasses broke and he was forced to see with Lily's eyes? and what does that mean? Hmm?" Interesting. . .

Reading some Neville DH theories that I find interesting: www.leakylounge.com/index.php?showtopic=43201&st=0"Since book three, I've tended to think of Neville as the "mirror" of Peter Pettigrew, in the same way that Ms Figg is the mirror of Filch. Mcgonnagal and Rosemerta's description of Peter- along the lines of "a chubby boy without much talent"- seem to fit the way Neville is described throughout the series. In addition, Minerva says, rather pointedly, "I wish now I hadn't been so sharp with him[PP]"; she is always hard on Neville, with book 5 being the first time she really softens her approach. The difference, as with so many things in the HP world, is his choices- PP chose the path of cowardice, Neville the path of courage. I hope he will have his day in book 7; my pet theory is he'll somehow help to redeem Peter, but I think he's going to do it through his death. Peter chose to save himself and sacrifice his friends. Neville would never do that. And if there's indeed a parallel between the two..." " Neville has loose ends. While the prophecy tied off any significance to Voldemort, the Lestranges still exist, and the repeated "Neville is gifted in Herbology" angle is waiting to bear fruit (pun intended). Besides the fact that Neville will most probably face off against DEs he has little chance of beating, I think Neville's happy sunset is necessary. He is in a way, Harry's mirror. Neville's broken past gives Harry perspective on his own. His lack of confidence gives Harry the wisdom to lead and teach. His unpopularity keeps Harry humble and genuine. His unfulfilled side of the prophecy gives Harry the humanity to think "It could have been someone else... but I'm glad it's mine and not more tragedy for him". Without Neville, Harry would be worse than what he was in the fifth book - he would be a creature turned in on himself, and remarkably alone. It is Neville who is both friend and in a strange way, almost family. Neville's happy ending will ultimately allow Harry to have one too." "At the end of PS/SS, when DD is awarding house points, it is Nevilles 10 points for his small but courageous act, that puts Gryffindor over the top to win the House Cup. I wonder if this is a bit of foreshadowing of Neville's role. It was Harry, Hermione, and Ron who earned large point totals to catch Gryffindor up to Slytherin; Neville's ten points seem insignificant, but without them Gryff would only have tied, not won."
