Um, I really don't get your claims of Lily being a sociopath. Have you never held something over a sibling, even though it might not be strictly considered 'fair'? I don't think that makes you an oh so horrible!!! person who never cared for your sibling at all.
And you're definitely missing the point of the end of her and Sevvy's frindship. He didn't just "stand up to her". He called her a Mudblood! In HP, that's a disgusting, racist word. That's like calling your supposedly best friend who happens to be of a darker skin tone a nigger. It's nasty and hurtful and not something that Lily could be expected to just cast aside.
Besides which, the defining trait of a sociopath is that they care for no one else. They view everyone - their family, 'friends', lovers - as expendable tools, means to an end. Someone like that wouldn't give up their own life just to save a baby, theirs or otherwise.
As for the way you would speak to your son about the guy who didn't get your Mum... Think about that for a second.
Do you really want to think about the man who was your least favorite teacher for six years, no matter how brave he was towards the end, fucking your Mother?
As for why Draco didn't name his son Severus, um, ever hear of originality? I'm fond of certain people, but that doesn't mean I'm planning on naming my children after them. I want to give my children ORIGINAL names, yeah?
And you really think Harry would talk like that to an elf?
Incredibly bored, may as well rant XD
