Re: Character deaths you resented the most

Sirius's death always pissed me off because it was too early. Now, for the entire story structure, it made sense. Dumbles died in book six, so Sirius couldn't die then, and Sirius had to be gone for Dumbles to die because it's supposed to show an escalating pattern of isolation and drama. (I expect we were also supposed to care about Dumbles but he was so unlikable in book six alone I think a lot of people were just glad he bit it.) His parents were some of the last dead in the first war, then for Harry it built from a classmate, to a godfather, to his wise old mentor/the leader of the good side (again, I do feel JKR thought we'd all be more attached to him). This is a perfectly logical progression and makes sense.

But for Harry and Sirius, who'd barely gotten to spend time with one another, it was too early. They were just starting to really find their footing with one another and then boom, gone, Harry's lost another parent figure.
