You must remember this ...
A kiss isn't always a kiss in with Harry Potter (especially when certain ones are designed to kill you) and I must confess, at first I wasn't sure JKR would have made such a great romance writer. I mean, the first kiss between Cho and Harry was more than awkward, it was actually depressing. Cho is grieving over her dead boyfriend and trying to move on, but just can't. Talk about adult themes in a children's book ... . The scene, I'm sure, was meant to be humorous, but it was really heavy and fraught with anxiety.
I guess JKR makes it up to us in Half-Blood Prince, the next installment, when Harry kisses Ginny, FINALLY. But then she breaks them up at the end of the book because ... in the immortal words of Pee Wee Herman ... Harry Potter's a loner, a rebel. You don't want get mixed up with a guy like him.
If Harry Potter does survive the next book, the kid deserves one heck of a makeout session.

I, for one, laughed out loud -- but excuse me for not rolling on the floor -- at the Pee-Wee Herman reference.
As for the previous comment ... lighten up, Francis. So what if this blog has your 16-sided die all askew? Perhaps Snape could whip up a spell for people who take "harry potter" -- and themselves -- way too seriously.
blink.
