I can understand your peevedness with the continual refs to spunk and shite - it gets annoying after a bit. Although a staunchish H/G shipper, I'm thinking of departing from that in my present fic (here (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/2546037/1/), have a shufti) a bit, just to get away from the fairytaleness of their connection. It just strikes me as not realistic with the way my (rather angry) Harry is going...But I'm kind of drifting off the topic.

I understand why Tom Ridd. Sr was angry, but his abandoning of his kid was still awful. Of course, that was no real reason for dear old Voldy to go around massacreing "mudbloods" and muggles.

Yeah, I've gone off on a real tangent now, so I'll just stop...
