Re: The twins, the teachers, Cho, Snape, James Sirius, Wormtail, Lupin, Lily, Harry and McGonagall.

The fact that Snape attacks James when his back is turned backs this up and serves as direct provocation for the more humiliating retaliation. Sirius' impedimenta spell merely held him down; Snape draws blood (to be fair, he is probably also spurred on by the proximity of Lily). His reaction to Lily's help (calling her a mudblood) is also somewhat explained by his embarrassment at this point, but it still speaks volumes about what he considers acceptable.
Yes. I wonder whether it is the mudblood comment that makes this Snape's worst memory, or whether it is the being dangled upside down.
My vote is for the mudblood comment, hands down. Snape has been treated poorly his whole life so while being dangled must have been unpleasant and undesirable that moment of speaking in anger and embarrassment cost him Lily. I don't know if she ever had romantic feelings for him like he did for her, but she was clearly a loyal and devoted friend. She didn't agree with some of his other friends, but she was still always there for him until this moment.
I don't know that I'll ever understand Snape calling Lily mudblood there. I know he is embarrassed, but she is the love of his life. He doesn't really see her as muggle-born from what I've read, so his comment here makes no sense for me except in the bigger picture that he had to do something unforgivable to lose Lily's loyalty.
People do stupid things. People in love do especially stupid things. I don't see it as unrealistic. Keep in mind they are teenagers.
I guess you're right. It didn't bother me here the first time I read the book, but once Harry sees the scene in context of Snape's feeling for Lily I had a huge WTF moment.
James: He is a little full of himself, and clearly approaching Lily in entirely the wrong way, but I don't think his comment to Lily that his motivation for mistreating Snape is merely ``because he exists'' is something to be taken at face value. I stick to my reading as I explained it above. James is arrogant, but he is not bad.
He is arrogant, and here I'm sure he is at his worst. I do like how Harry doesn't try to rationalize what James did and instead sides with Snape. I don't agree with his perception, but I do like how Harry is able to admit that maybe James wasn't as perfect as he had built him up to be.
I agree.
Sirius: I like that everything he does is done in a dashing way. His comment about Wormtail wetting himself with excitement is cutting, but at this time Harry (who is our resident standard of morality) has been annoyed for a while and thinking that James should ``tell Wormtail to get a grip on himself''.
His comment that he wishes it were the full moon is more problematic, in a way, considering how horrible that is for Lupin. But it serves to establish him even more as someone who lives for daring adventures and danger. Possibly because everything is too easy -- he is not the least worried about his exams.
He is a little dismissive of what must be painful for Lupin to think about or discuss, and while I don't like that particular part, I really do like Sirius here. I almost wonder why James is the leader when I read this passage, just because Sirius seems so cool to me.
I know! I have actually never really thought of James as the "leader". I always saw it as a joint operation between James and Sirius.
Wormtail: He is showing all the traits we have come to expect, being weak and sycophantic. It is perhaps a little too exaggerated -- it makes it less likely that James would trust his life to him.
I think it is overdone as well, but maybe they were both so arrogant they didn't mind how overt Wormtail's hero worship was. Perhaps as they got a handle on their arrogance later Wormtail got a handle on his fawning?
That makes sense.
Lupin: Lovely as always. Level-headed. I have heard him called weak because he does not stop the scene, but if my reading is right and this is part of a larger feud, his staying out of it makes sense.
I agree. I lost sympathy for Snape when he attacked from behind. I don't like what James did after, but Snape showed no honor in that action so I don't mind that Lupin didn't step in. I think he learned from watching this though, but I have nothing besides a gut feeling to base that on right now.
True.
Lily: She is cool. I like both her standing up for Snape and her ultimate rejection of him.
I'm glad Harry gets to see Lily in this moment, and in it's fuller context later on. His mother was a very strong, capable woman and he got to see an example of this. Even though his image of his father is dented, he has to be proud of who she was.
Indeed.
Harry: I like how he takes Snape's side in the memory. Especially as I don't. It is a side to his character that … I suppose it is what makes him the hero -- especially in Rowling's universe. It is interesting that he thinks that it would be acceptable to do it to Malfoy.
Yes. The parallel between Draco and Snape is a strong one to me, and for Harry to feel pity for Snape while wishing the same treatment on Malfoy seems to be missing something to me. James must have thought picking on Snape to be alright on the same terms that Harry thinks it would be okay to do that to Malfoy. Harry can be smart at times, I don't know how he misses this one.
I think it may be due to the earlier images he has seen of Snape's childhood. He is identifying with him because of them. He has no such reference point for Draco (although I think it is fairly obvious that his home life is not stellar either).
Now that I think about it, I don't know that we have been treated to any direct thoughts about Draco's life being unhappy at home, though clearly we find out later. I might be remembering incorrectly, but maybe we've only seen Draco as a spoiled prince to this point and the revelations come later. It's hard to separate it for me, but if we haven't been told yet perhaps it is slightly more forgivable for Harry to have this impulse. I would be sad if he acted on it though.
I am a little annoyed that he does not think of the mirror when he is so desperate to talk to Sirius. Yes, I know I said it was part of a beautifully structured plot, but on the level of character it is a little unsatisfying.
Gaping plot hole to me. I understand it from the structural standpoint as you say, but seriously?
Well, I wouldn't say gaping plot hole. I don't think he has opened the present yet, so he does not know it is a two-way mirror. And he put it aside with the resolution that he would not look at it. She has provided a plausible reason for it not being used. It is just that considering the danger he is running, it is annoying for me as a reader to know that he has another option. I know I didn't think about it the first time I read it, though. Like Harry, I had forgotten it.
I didn't forget it, so maybe that's why. If we are supposed to forget it it's a little better. I just don't know why he would risk everything like that. It's one of those times where I recognize why it has to happen in the larger context of the story, but when I read this part it feels forced that he forgets the easy way. And I don't like that he doesn't open it. I mean, I get that he doesn't want to use it and endanger Sirius, but not opening a magic present just to check it out? I don't buy it personally. I really don't read books or watch movies to try to see what is wrong with them, this area is just a stretch I find hard to ignore.
His whole expedition really is problematic. As Hermione points out, Dumbledore's sacrifice would be in vain if he got caught. And he shows that he is aware that it would reflect very badly on McGonagall. Not to mention that this is not vital stuff. The only possible upshot will be to ease his mind. It is on par with running around risking his life in book 3 (before we knew Sirius was a good guy).
McGonagall: Reading her interaction with Umbridge is a joy. Her mix of ignoring her, correcting her and being downright rude (in a polite way) is wonderful. And when she finally snaps, there is that feeling of unleashing of power which I like so much in Dumbledore. Yes, I gush
' />

"Are you quite certain you wouldn't like a cough drop Dolores" is freaking brilliant. Everything in that scene is priceless. And the jibe about Harry having good marks from every qualified instructor he'd had. That interview is a beautiful piece of writing.
