Which theory do you want?

You can choose from "Harry fucked a girl who looked like his mom" or, "Harry fucked his all but adopted sister since it was clear Molly pretty much made harry her kid too". I think there were another couple of theories along those lines too, but I forget which they are. The point is, Harry didn't end up with Hermione and that is sad.

I hate the argument that Ginny looks like Lily. Ginny has bright red hair and brown eyes and Lily has darker, more auburn hair and green eyes. The fact that their hair is in the same general color family is enough to decide they look too similar?

As a redhead I am very offended by the idea that we all look alike. :p

That really gets on my nerves! The only similarity is red hair! If they both had brown hair, no one would say they looked alike.

Of course you redheads all look alike. Blank and soulless.

Is it a US thing? oO

Yes. It started, as far as I know, as a joke on South Park. I don't watch the show because I can't stand it, but I know some secondhand because some terrible people don't understand that those are *jokes* in an *animated* show, and that none of the characters should really be emulated in real life.

Basically, there was an episode where Cartman (I think) declares that gingers are evil and soulless. I'm not even going to pretend to know what actually happens in the episode, but suffice to say it's a cultural in-joke now. That wouldn't be so bad if it were treated fully as a joke, but things like 'Kick a Ginger Day' are actual things now, and horrible people use them as an excuse to bully and harass gingers. The first I heard of this was my brother in a towering rage because people were just walking up and kicking his friends (all three of his best friends were redheads) out of nowhere one day. Most were just tapping them, which the gingers took with impressive good grace, but some others were out to cause damage. My brother dealt with this by recruiting rugby buddies to follow any ginger they could find around the school as bodyguards.

Yes, I am unreasonable about this. Treated properly as the joke it is, I can roll my eyes and roll with it, but kids have been hospitalized over this. No one should need a bodyguard to walk them between math and chem, and bullying in any form is a hot-button for me.

I think even as a joke it's not right. Especially done to kids.
I'm happy the rugby team helped some redheads. <3

btw, I'd stumbled on the Paris Hilton South Park ep. and hated it ever since.

It's a UK thing.

I've heard Tim Minchin's Only a Ginger Can Call Another Ginger 'Ginger' so I guess, yeah...

Pretty much. I don't really remember major descriptions for either of them, just that they were red heads. That and Lily had green eyes since that was SUCH a huge thing in the books regarding Harry. We kind of got hit upside the heads with a concrete brick on that one...

Not to mention, Ginny was originally a little more...quiet, I guess is good word, which I kind of sorta saw Lily as (not meek though, just quiet), then, when JKR wanted to shoe horn in the shitty romance, she changed Ginny's personality.

Yes, I hated that pairing, but not because I like Harry/Hermione (it's ok). It just thought it was badly written.

tbf, it was established a couple of times that the reason Ginny was so quiet was that her crush on Harry initially made her very shy when she was around him (which is pretty common and it makes sense that she eventually grew out of it). She's implied to be a lot more outgoing when not in Harry's presence (which is the only time we see her since the book is centered around his POV) and Ron even outright says to Harry in Chamber of Secrets "You don't know how weird it is for her to be this shy, she never shuts up normally."

That said, I do agree that Harry/Ginny wasn't all that well written. I love the books, but I don't think romance was Rowling's forte in general tbh

salty Harmonian is salty

One, I don't know what salty means in this context, and two I'm just telling you what the theories are, I am in no way endorsing them. Those are just what people say.
