Oh, of course people can like characters despite their flaws -- in fact, I like to think that most people like characters BECAUSE of their flaws. It's when you get characters without them like those in the Twilight series that you run into problems.

My point was just that the OP wasn't excusing Sirius (at least, that's not how I took it), yet was merely dismantling the Freudian Excuse that's often used for Draco. You have no idea how many times I've seen people say, "Well, he just doesn't know any better, it's because he was raised with racist parents, he could easily overcome that racism and hook up with Hermione!11!" It's prevalent. Extremely prevalent. And I took OP's use of Sirius to combat that, because Sirius (and the lesser used Andromeda as well) both showed that no, that doesn't matter, people can make their own decisions, and Draco chose to believe in racism.

Don't worry, I'm not actually mad or anything, just very blunt, haha. You have nothing to apologize for. =) Trust me, it takes a lot more than just a discussion on HP characters to rile me. But I'm sorry if I came off as rude, too. I don't mean to, I just often do. It's a bad tendency of mine. ^^;

I agree. Flawed characters are awesome.

I think I partly reacted the way I did because I've recently seen some Mauraders!fans who think they did no wrong (just as annoying as the Draco-In-Leather-Pants fans really) and just excuse everything they did while tearing down Draco and Snape. Probably unfair but sometimes I can't control my ability to go on rants.

It's all right, I'm the exact same, except in reverse. What really bugs me is that I really do find Snape to be an interesting character, but the Snapefen drive me so insane that I find myself bashing him sometimes just to try and shoot them down. >< It's awful of me, but sometimes I can't help it.
