In Memoriam: Avery
Everyone on FW thinks I jest, but I really do love Avery. I actually *was* a bit stung when Lily said the nasty things about him, as if Snape was so much better. I felt like I knew Avery a lot better than JKR did, since JKR obviously hadn't thought much about who Snape's friends were, given the mangled state their timelines were in.

That's how I felt, and I knew it was very silly. It's harder to intellectually defend an emotional attachment to a character with about two lines in the entire HP series, than it is to a major character like Snape.

So, bitter Snapefen, there but for the grace of JKR go I.
