Let me just say first off, that post was my girlfriend's. She forgot to log in on her own account. That said, I agree with her 100%. And so I will give you a piece of my mind.
1. There is a difference between holding something over a sibling and going out of your way to torment her, but still, no. I love my sister. She's my best friend. People have treated her that way and they've had to answer to me. She deserves better than that.
2. I suppose you have never blurted out nasty words whilst being tortured and humiliated, even to those trying to help you? I've never used racist words, but I have said pretty much every other filthy word and even hit the people I care most about under extreme duress. I felt horrible as soon as I did and apologised once I got my wits about. I am usually forgiven, just as I have forgiven those who have done the same to me, which tends to be much worse than the things I've done.
3. No, there are plenty of sociopaths who do care about other people, just not as much as they should. The actual defining trait of a sociopath is the lack of a conscience. Protecting your own baby with your life is not necessarily a big deal to a sociopath -- they are incapable of fearing the danger they put themselves in. Rather, it's a rush. And besides, when it's your own child, you are serving your own interests. But saving the disobedient brat of the woman who ripped your heart out and the bully who made your life hell... I must say I find that way more impressive. If it were me, I'd say let him rot.
4. Excuse me! You might think of that as mere "fucking," but Snape was in love with her from childhood until his dying day. Marrying someone, spending your life with them, and having a family with them warrants a little more than being summed up in one tawdry act. Would Harry, in turn, think of James as the guy who fucked his mom?
5. Um, I didn't notice Harry being very original with his kids' names. Just saying.
6. When it boils down to it, Harry might as well have said that to Kreacher. For all that high and mighty crap about Dobby, he just saw Kreacher as something disgusting, then later he was just a servant. Maybe Kreacher deserves to be freed? Maybe he could bother asking if he would like to be free? No, he just wants him to make a bleedin' sandwich! I'm sure Wilberforce would have done the same!
...
That's too bad, because it's painfully clear to me.
