Interesting that it's Muggle "reality" that's portrayed as exaggerated fantasy interesting to me though that what I think really hooked me to these books initially is that my own upbringing has led me to feel much more at ease with the WW than with the Muggles - but that could be a long story - things unnatural seem quite natural to me. I'm pretty much a LUna character. clever allusion to Harry's judgmental attitude towards Snape's appearance This is a pattern as the books progress. There is a lot of hinting towards not judging on appearances. In particular, how many times have Harry and co. been misled by Snape's actions/appearances to be proved worng? By OoTP Harry is almost (at times) feeling sorry for Snape (eg. worst memory chapter) and I feel there may be some major turning around between these two in the last two books.
