Stuff related to the Leaky Cauldron/Mugglenet Interview

This interview is so cool. The only thing I was hoping was that Tonks/Lupin would not come up.

And yet, JKR herself brought it up.

The way I read it, it sounds like we WERE supposed to be shocked when it came out of nowhere. Which is kind of interesting. I have no idea what that might mean, except maybe she's pleased the Sirius red herrings worked? I feel like the Remus/Sirius question might have gotten asked, but either a.) is in the final part, or (more realistically, and I hope) b.) was edited out of the interview. In a way, I'll be glad when this interview is over, because I can stop feeling like the tetherhooks are there. And in a way, I never want it to end, because the questions are so good that I'd like to keep reading more, more, MORE!

Any thoughts?

I agree it should be there- I've always thought it was. Remus is manipulative, and he's definitely able to be cold-blooded.

And he like to people who care for him, and he can be very careless, he doesn't realise that killing Peter means killing Sirius' proof of innocence, he puts other people in danger, he knows he's dangerous, he gives into a clingy and pathetic young woman simply because he feels sorry for her, he drops out of Harry's life twice (three times, if we count 1981) without so much as a letter...I love him SO much! *g*

Whatever else Jo does with her characters, you gotta give her props for writing such a realistically flawed character in Remus, even if she did do it on accident.
