I don't click back if the difference in height is small, no matter who it's favouring-- but if it's anything more than that, I know it's going to be baaaaaaad. Though I have read some fics where they made the insane height difference part of the plot, which makes me (slightly) more inclined towards forgiveness.

4) Hahaha, that's why interpretation can be so awesome, sometimes. xD I don't think seeing in black and white means you can never forgive-- at least for Harry, it doesn't. But the moment he's given a reason to forgive, the person immediately is not a bad person in his mind-- in Snape's case, just because he acted out of love for Lily, all his actions were suddenly forgivable. All his bad just got glossed over-- and he became one of the bravest men Harry ever knew. I can see where you could see that as him seeing shades of grey, but I totally don't.

5) I'm not really sure. I'm from Canada, and so I grew up on British murder mysteries, and then started watching American ones when I got older. It might just be a question of how sensitive a person is to that sort of thing?

I just can't take it when Harry is taller, because that means he'll be the dominant partner (I don't know why but it always does), and that clashes too much with my interpretation of his character (it also contradicts canon, of course, but you could say that he had another growth spurt after he defeated Voldemort, I suppose). Since I see him as relating to Draco as to an equal, and that being a really big part of why I like the pairing so much, I don't like him being a "seducer", so to speak.

In fact, I can easily imagine Harry feeling a lot less confident in social settings than Draco would. And then there's Harry's general awkwardness, and him being a bit of a dork (though the dorkiness goes equally for Draco, mind XD). Not to mention his inability to realise when someone likes him, as you mentioned before.

4) Oh yeah, and Harry's world view is really hard to prove; there's mostly circumstantial evidence. We know what he has done, but how can the actions be interpreted? There are several ways, to be sure.

But the moment he's given a reason to forgive, the person immediately is not a bad person in his mind

Very few people are completely bad, though. That's what I mean about him not having a black and white world view - despite his dislike of Snape, he acknowledges the good deeds he had done. He still dislikes Draco quite a lot personally, while being able to forgive and feel pity. I thought it made him see the world in a more nuanced way.

just because he acted out of love for Lily, all his actions were suddenly forgivable.

I thought he just forgave him for killing Dumbledore, though? And a lot of the behaviour connected to him fooling Voldemort. Maybe the everyday insults and humiliations paled in the light of what he'd had to bear? (Not that I'm trying to convince you, really! It's just my own musings.)

And that goes back to what I talked about earlier, that Harry has a rather tender heart, and tend to let go of grudges easily.

5) Yeah, it was just a thought, nothing I really believe. I have noticed that in U.S. media, almost everything tends to be verbalised. But I agree that it most likely depends on individual sensitivity.
