Re: See my sudden realizations on Snape... (spoilers books 4, 6 & 7) Camilla Send a noteboard - 05/08/2010 03:13:21 PM
Dumbledore is not infallible, but it really is a little out of character for him not to have thought to search the shack. Even if he did not know Sirius knew about it. He did know the story of Sirius tricking Snape into following Lupin there, so it should not have been too much of a leap. Could Dumbledore have suspected Sirus' innocence? Then again, that would be a little strange. I'd imagine he'd have spoken up about it.

Dumbledore is irresponsible through all of the first four books, honestly. He lets Harry and other students get into mortal danger rather a lot, and only rarely do we get the feeling he's really in control of the situation. Only after Voldemort's return is confirmed does he start looking out properly.


I have a feeling he avoids shielding them too much because he knows Harry must learn a lot in order to have any chance against Voldemort, who Dumbledore knows will return. I always had a feeling he was following things closely ready to intervene if it got too far. But then again, there is no way he would have the time if things got out of hand (and he doesn't intervene when Lupin becomes a werewolf, for example). I suppose I may have to conclude that that is just wishful thinking on my part.

Snape is thoroughly deranged. It is delightful. He really has snapped. Compared to the earlier books it is a little out of character, but I think that is because we have only seen him in conflict with children (where he is the one in power, indisputably), and disagreeing with Dumbledore, where he must submit. This is Snape faced with old enemies from school, people who are on a more or less level playing field, but who had a higher status than him then -- and he has clearly looked forward to enjoying the reversal in status (he is professor, Sirius is prisoner on the run). When this is taken away, or at least not accepted as readily as he would have liked…. I suppose it is also compounded by his having looked forward to saving Harry, thereby getting "revenge" on James, and here too his ideal set-up is thwarted. It is rather well written.

See my post - the Lily factor is what makes for the acting deranged instead of cool ruthless sarcasm. The other factors contribute, but she is the key.


Oh, yes. I agree entirely. As I said in my reply to your post. It is obvious when you mention it. And it brings more loveliness to the scene. It really is one of my absolute favourite ones.

Hermione's reaction to attacking a teacher is very in character. She has been on a bit of a rule-breaking high, I think, but this seems to take her down a little.

Attacking a teacher is indeed a rather different category from their usual rulebreaking, though.


Yes. There is a sense of "oh, shit. Did we got too far this time?"

Harry… God, I wish Harry would stop shouting. And I know it is a bit early to get fed up with that particular part of his personality (and I know I said I liked it in the beginning of this book), but seriously. I am never having children if they could grow up to become teenagers with issues.

Yeah. It's amazing how he is all raging teenager one moment, and then has to be the mature adult authority figure when Sirius and Remus get carried away and want to kill Peter. Especially since he was going to kill Sirius himself in the previous chapter (I was really wondering how he intended to do that, incidentally).


Perhaps turn him into a tea pot and break him?

On that topic, the things we learn later on about Avada Kedavra and Horcruxes make it clear how important Harry's intervention here is, and how important it is that Sirius and Remus don't become murderers.


Yes. That was what I was getting at in my post on killing. It is an early insight into one of her major themes.

Peter is predictably an unpleasant lump of unpleasantness. But of course that only serves to highlight how wonderfully cool both Lupin and Sirius are (sorry, if I can't go all fangirl at these scenes, when can I?). Lupin silences him with a look, Sirius' contempt is overpowering. I would like to have known what made Sirius think Lupin (rather than Peter) was the spy. I know I am terribly influenced by the Shoebox Project when it gets to this, but it always did seem odd.

But yes. They are both lovely. "Then you should have died" and "What is to be gained" is also very good, I love heroes with integrity and a history. And I suppose it is emblematic of the good vs evil. Good guys don't ask what's in it for them. And as Sirius replies "only innocent lives"… Definite good guy. It is a very clear distinction. Lupin's "Goodbye, Peter" is also very good. Very menacing.

I can't agree about Lupin and Sirius, actually. Harry has to stop them from doing stupid things, and as I remember mentioning elsewhere (one of the previous discussions, I'm fairly sure, though I'm not sure how it could've been relevant to those...), I really rather doubt Sirius' claim that he'd have died for Peter just like that.


You don't think Sirius and Lupin have integrity? Or that they aren't good guys? I don't see en inherent opposition between either and doing stupid things. In fact, Rowling's heroes seem to thrive on doing stupid.

I wouldn't stake my life on their willingness to sacrifice themselves for Peter, but I wouldn't rule it out, either. It would be like Harry sacrificing his life for Neville (at this point in the books) -- I could see it happen.

I also like how Sirius bumps Snape's head against the roof. I said I like my heroes with integrity and history, but I also like when they occasionally get petty and childish because of that history. People who are too perfect are never really interesting.

Hehe. True, that.

How good a book is this - compared to the rest of the series, and compared to YA books in general? *NM* Legolas - 28/07/2010 01:19:06 PM 1028 Views
I'd say it is one of the best in the series Camilla - 02/08/2010 10:23:49 AM 1727 Views

Okay, so possibly a Shakespeare reference also used by Bradbury. Whatever. *NM* Legolas - 05/08/2010 12:37:56 AM 935 Views
