creeper that i am, i read this and i TOTALLY HAVE TO AGREE WITH YOU. this is exactly how i feel about the whole harry potter situation, AND about sacrifices (which i'm currently re-reading and it's the best damn thing ever). Even hufflepuff and ravenclaw in JK's books seem to take a back seat, and it's all about gryffindor and how amazing they are. I love how lightning addresses the issue of slytherin being a little outcasted, but points out that not everyone is bad and that people CAN unite, and that other houses aren't evil and that gryffindor isn't all good.
and i actually have the same consequence; had it not been for my somewhat like for harry/draco, i would have not stumbled upon this story. While draco/harry in sacrifices are CERTAINLY the icing, the cherry, whatever you would like to call it, i don't think it would have taken much away from the amazingness that is sacrifices had it been absent.
but i'm still so glad that she included it :)
But it was only really after I read sacrifices that I really started to see how truly unfair these prejudice against slytherin was. (or maybe sacrifices just made me angry about it) the story is amazing and realistic in terms of characters and how they got there. and sacrifices harry is so much better than canon harry- i find canon harry as weak and relying too much on miracles and deus ex machina to solve his problems.
