This thread on HPForGrownUps is starting to get on my nerve. It's entitled "Draco's redemption".

Now, I'm not fond of Just%isunderstood!Draco either. I agree that he's a jerk. But for fuck's sake, 'redemption'? As of now, Draco hasn't really done anything he should 'redeem' himself for. He's a bully, yeah, but speaking as an ex-bully-ee, That doesn't make him evil. Am I overreacting or something? I dunno, it just seriously pisses me off that they'rre judging someone by what he's like at 14. I'm weird. Ignore me.

But while I'm venting, I'd like to send a hearthy "Yeah, fuck you, too!" to the fraction on HP4GU that is of the opinion that the whole SexGod!Draco idea is to blame on fanfic and that no one writing fanfic can have a decent discussion about canon and it. pisses. me. off.

That's exactly it--all else aside, he's so *flat.*

That's exactly why I think something is going to happen with/to him. JKR has demonstrated her ability to create fascinating, multi-layered characters, and I'd be severely disappointed if she'd have Draco join Voldie just like that, because he's "the bad guy".

Whichever side he's going to end up on, something is going to happen with/to Draco. (I hope. Like I said, I'd be disappointed in JKR otherwise.)
