I went back today and reread this a little more slowly (my initial reaction, I confess, involved eyes glazing over), and what just *kills* me is the absolute and supremely self-confident certainty with which these pronouncements are being made. It's very "fundamentalist," in a way.
Hasn't literary analysis debunked that attitude *decades* ago? I mean, perhaps I'm an odd person, but I'm capable of believing that more than one interpretation can often be plausible. Why is this apparently anathema in HP fandom?
