Hope you don't mind if I comment. Re: HP6 - you're a movie ahead of yourself. In 6, you are led to assume that Snape is the great traitor. It's not until the final book/movie that he is revealed as being on the good side all along. You're right, the final book in particular has some...familiar ideas about sacrifice, both around Snape and around Harry. I also thought your comment about the Chasers interesting. I fail to understand the controversy myself (isn't controversy and bad taste what those guys do?!), but the idea that they are poking at an idolisation of childhood is one that bears some thought. I do think our society puts too much emphasis on the importance of children, but I've never thought of it quite like that. Yay, I found your blog! Hope you don’t mind if I comment.
