JKR wants us to believe Snape is one of the bravest men Harry ever knew. Which is why I take her opinions on Draco with a huge grain of salt, tbh. She doesn't understand how what she writes comes across to readers, and she's really dismissive of fan opinions in that regard.

this is really true like jkr is amazing at worldbuilding but i’m not really sure if she gets that when you describe a man as “greasy” “hook-nosed” “yellow toothed” “sallow” and a PLETHORA of other really just horrible things, a lot of ur readers (who are CHILDREN) are probably not going to like that character?? at all? the twist with snape at the end was interesting and enlightening and really great because we see that this character who harry always viewed as evil was actually okay and he did the right thing for the wrong reasons and sure, whatever. that’s fine and i get it. authorial intent and all that.

but to then go on to just completely dismiss draco malfoy - a character who is canonically written as morally grey - eleven and going off to school and looking for a friend, thirteen and a bully, fifteen and prejudiced, seventeen and scared, and alone, and lost, and crying to a ghost in the girl’s bathroom - that’s what i take issue with. draco is constantly evolving as a character, yet jk rowling continues to demean his fans. she believes that anyone who likes draco must just be a teenage girl with a bad boy fetish, some pathetic child with posters of tom felton hanging up in her room, because why else would anyone like this character? 

LIKE, SHE’S LITERALLY THE ONE WHO WROTE HIM. LIKE. HOW THE HELL DO U WRITE THIS:

“I mean he’s sensitive, people bully him too,and he feels lonely and hasn’t got anybody to talk to, and he’s notafraid to show his feelings and cry!”

AND THIS:

“No one can help me,” said Malfoy. His whole body was shaking.“I can’t do it… . I can’t… . It won’t work … and unless I doit soon … he says he’ll kill me… .”And Harry realized, with a shock so huge it seemed to root himto the spot, that Malfoy was crying — actually crying — tearsstreaming down his pale face into the grimy basin. Malfoy gaspedand gulped and then, with a great shudder, looked up into thecracked mirror and saw Harry staring at him over his shoulder. 

ESPECIALLY HERE: 

“I haven’t got any options!” said Malfoy, and he was suddenlywhite as Dumbledore. “I’ve got to do it! He’ll kill me! He’ll kill mywhole family!”

AND HERE:

“Now, Draco, quickly!” said the brutal-faced man angrily.But Malfoy’s hand was shaking so badly that he could barelyaim.

and then be mad when people sympathize with him? it’s so ridiculous to me, it’s actually laughable, i don’t understand how an author can write a sympathetic character and then just 

????????????????????????

When I say “I’m an avid reader,” what I mean is, I read the Harry Potter books over and over again and occasionally read something else.
