1. The first character I fell in love with: Severus. Dur-hay. But...

2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now:...this is probably true too. I mean, I always liked him, but I fell hard after DH. (Yeah, I'm one of those.)

Also, Regulus. Never thought much about him before fandom, but fandom taught me to love him too.

3. The character everyone else loves that I don't: Luna. She's all right, don't get me wrong, but a lot of people seem to be over the moon (no pun intended) and she just kinda rubs me the wrong way, especially in the films.

4. The character I love that everyone else hates: I'm not a fan of any of the real underdogs like Grawp, so I don't think I have an answer for this. Where Marauder-hate is common, then I could say Sirius.

5. The character I used to love but don't any longer: Maybe Harry, actually? I kind of fell out of sympathy for him. He became less someone I could identify with and root for as the series went on.

6. The character I would shag anytime: Severus, but he needs to be reasonably like the one in my head. No bait-and-switch with a scary creature out of the mind of Mary GrandPre, nor impossible bishie Sev. I'm all for pretty boys with long dark hair, but that's different. If you cross a certain line it's just not Severus anymore, and it's him that I... aaamm not going to wax fangirly about because language like that belongs in a fanfic in someone else's mouth. Ahem.

Sirius too, I think. JKR might have me on "bad boy syndrome" there, but the question wasn't "who would you have a long-term relationship with". :P (What was that I was saying about pretty boys with long dark hair that weren't Severus?)

I say "boys", but I am thinking somewhere age 23-28 (I can haz newbie Professor Snape plz?), and also not the 48 they'd both be if they were canonically alive right now. I've gotten over ~20-year age differences as an a priori turnoff in fic, but my own real-life tolerance is about age 20-35 (depending on, uh, stuff).

7. The character I'd want to be like: I don't think there are any. Rowena Ravenclaw lol. Like there's enough to go on there.

8. The character I'd slap: I'd like to give Dumbles a poke in the twinkly eye sometimes, but you don't really go around slapping 110-year-old wizards, now, do you?

9. A pairing that I love: Severus/Lily. Severus/Sirius. Severus/Regulus. Sirius/Regulus (just to prove it's not all about Severus :P ).

10. A pairing that I despise: I don't despise any; everyone has their tastes, even if I don't understand them. There's a lot of Severus pairings I don't like, though (/Minerva, /Moody, /Shacklebolt, /Dumbledore, /Arthur, /Bellatrix except under certain angsty/drama circumstances, the list goes on). Draco/Hermione. Fenrir/anyone.
