I've always known Severus wasn't what Harry saw him as, and I was really starting to lose hope that JK would just destroy Snape as a character as I approached the end and he was still the villan figure. |

and by the way, I would like to analyze your signature. But let's talk injustices first. I thinking Lupin and Tonks as a trade for Mr. W? anything else? |

Especially when both Sirius and Remus went through so much in their lifetimes. Ron's always complaining about how big his family is, why shouldn't Harry get a single parent figure that survives? Teddy, as well, raised as an orphan.
Fred's death, because seperating twins is just downright cruel.
The fact that no one except possibly Dobby had a decently written death scene.
The fact that that entire generation died. Not a single one we knew by name, not even Wormtail, survived. James, Lily, Sirius, Pettigrew, Severus/Remus, because we don't even know who died first.
Winky, who was completely ignored as a character and not mentioned a single time in all of Deathly Hallows.
Severus, who doesn't even get a portrait as Headmaster until much later. Is puroposefully left out of that chapter while Dumbledore, even after everything, is still the mentor and grandfatherly figure.
The epilogue, simply because her loyal fans deserved something better written than "All was well." as an ending to series we held so close. |
(Note -- Sirius wasn't part of that trade. I got the feeling -- even before the fourth book -- that he was created and made so lovable just so she could rub him out.) Ok, so what have we got?
1. Letting Snape die without recognition, and making us read to the end to find out.
2. Trading Arthur Weasley for Lupin and Tonks.
3. Glorifying suicide in a children's book.
4. Screwing up the horcrux theory.
(It made sense in HBP. But the end of DH was convoluted, self-contradictory and silly.)
5.Harry didn't get a single parent figure that survived.
6.Teddy, as well, raised as an orphan.
7.Fred's death (seperating twins)
8.No one except Dobby had a decently written death scene.
9.Winky was completely ignored through Deathly Hallows.
10.The epilogue, topped with "All was well."
What else?
Unforgivable?
