Remus Lupin

"remus lupin was supposed to be on the h.i.v. metaphor. it was someone who had been infected young, who suffered stigma, who had a fear of infecting others, who was terrified he would pass on his condition to his son. and it was a way of examining prejudice, unwarranted prejudice towards a group of people. and also, examining why people might become embittered when they’re treated that unfairly."

oh my god. this is genius. I WANT TO WRITE AS GOOD AS HER. seriously, this gives HP so much more layers than it already has. i mean yeah luh, anyone reading the book would probably know the intention was to show a person coping with fitting into society. and my interpretation was, since a book as good as this is meant for us to interpret, that he meant to portray the outcasts in society, which i originally thought was one of the clients she helped during her days in Amnesty, and how they gain acceptance with people who truly accept who he is. yeah, pretty deep.

i think people sometimes mistake HP for a simple series you read to live vicariously and they don't get why there are so many fans (including me) who loves it. it's not just a book. it's literally a microcosmic (HEH) portrayal of society apart from the countless hours of imagination pleasure.
