hee. i'd love to see your picture at that age. he's marvellously androgynous there. you could be his big brother, only i'm sure you'd have tanned people's hides and he'd not have ended up being so miserable.
i hate James Potter and his cronies, deeply and passionately, for that scene with poor Severus where they were tormenting him. i cannot quite express how deeply that cut. i was about 13 when four athletic, popular boys from my class held me upside down over a railing about 4 stories up and talked about whether or not to drop me, because i was so annoying (read: completely, mousily quiet and anxious and too smart) that they wanted to kill me.
...and worthless. i believe that was in there somewhere. useless, worthless, annoying... i can't remember the rest, i was upside down and caught between (a) hoping my glasses stayed on if they didn't drop me and (b) hoping they didn't drop me and (c) regardless of the outcome that no-one was looking.
