Agreed about the plotlines (it won't let me copy for some reason). Though I'm glad that so far, she hasn't made it that Neville is under a memory charm - I like the idea of him just needing encouragement and confidence. And I think Harry did mourn Sirius, but it was a private mourning he didn't have time to share with us. (Maybe not even JKR herself - characters can do odd things like that).

The whole MWPP thing had been the embodiment of one of my pet peeves. Outoftheloop!Peter, love/hate!Lily and James, braniac!Snape... etc. In my ficverse, I do have that some of all of those things were direct results of seeing them on an extremely bad day. I mean, how could they have trusted Peter, for instance, if he were completely nonchalant and such? How could Lily have loved James if he was always a bully?

But at the same time, I liked seeing the weaknesses. And maybe that was the real function of the memory - had we seen a happy, normal day, we wouldn't have seen them all being like that.
