Re: Re:you forgot something

I meant 'human' literally, they are dwarves, elves, hobbits, ents and maia and so on - even the men are very different.
Are you saying that being a good liar makes him bad? I say it is pathetic that Frodo's life was in danger and he couldn't even save it because it meant lying.
And where specifically are you talking about when you say Harry lied about the map? Oh, I know he does, but where does he lie and convince Snape? In book 3 when the map insulted Snape? But a teacher was covering up for him, remember. Snape was not convinced, but couldn't argue further.

Just where does Harry act in a wrong way to Colin? Oh, he's always irritated by him, of course, but I don't recollect him doing anything really bad.

Yes, he became his best friend in Mordor, and unless there's something really wrong with me it was in MORDOR that he apologised to Sam!

Also, my life is not in danger when I tell a teacher that I 'forgot' my homework, but to a child such things are important. I mean, everyone has told an occasional lie. What OF it?

Finally, I need references. This is going to sound like I didn't read the books preperly, but I just never read it thinking 'Oh, that was mean of Harry.' Doesn't Malfoy deserve it when Harry curses him?
Who are you to say 'don't compare'? That's what the whole topic is about.

I agree that it is silly that people dislike wizards...
