for the record

silviakundera said, back on 12/04, speaking of Harry and Ron:

Of course, my view of them is very different than most people's (as I find their friendship full of repressed resentment, envy, and something possibly even resembling hatred as the books move on).

And I just want to say, before Book 5 comes out and we get more evidence, that Silvia has exactly articulated what I see going on in Harry and Ron's friendship.

So when we get The Order of the Phoenix, and Ron selflessly sacrifices himself for Harry (no guilt-tripping allowed, mind) or otherwise demonstrates True, Pure Friendship, you can go ahead and laugh your asses off at me. 'Cause that's not what I see coming.

[ETA: I also think that Ron's friendship is actually really bad for Harry, although that may just be me over-identifying with Hermione.]

And thanks, bonibaru, for the pointer to Silvia's LJ.
