Re: What do you like that gets a lot of hate?

Yes, I mean, that's exactly what I liked about it. I'm not really active anymore, but my little corner of fandom was pretty divided.

AYRT - Yeah, I remember there being a bit of in-fighting, although most of my Marauder friends and I more or less agreed that both were probably at fault. I mean, isn't that how high school is anyway? Not that I was ever Snape or the Marauders, but I remember hating certain kids because they were cheerleaders or "preppy", and looking back, I was just as snobby and judgmental as they were. Or as I thought they were, I didn't really get to know them. Teenagers suck. Unfortunately for the Marauders and Snape, they were sucky teenagers at a time when a lot of forces were manipulating their actions.

I've never attended a high school and I read HP as an adult, so my lens was different from a lot of US readers who read it growing up. But, like you, I never really saw it as a simple bully-victim situation. Of course, I don't condone what the Marauders did to Snape, but at the same time the books make it clear that Snape was a bully too, though mostly to other people, and that most of their confrontations were escalated fights. And yeah, a bunch of melodramatic teenagers with wands... it's to be expected. Hogwarts, the whole wizarding world really, is violent place.
