GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! It's like people don't even bother to Wiki things, let alone read reviews! Like the woman who took her 8-year-old to a Lady Gaga concert in Sydney, then complained it was too sexual.

I roll my eyes a lot at my parents' habit of monitoring what I watched and read, and occasionally saying, "This episode's not appropriate, we'll let you know when you can watch this show again", but at least they made the effort!

"(Incidentally, the Radio Emo scene actually made me realize I could see Harry/Hermione when it wasn't being portrayed in badfic. Unlike the fic I've seen, it was an actual moment of "He cares about her and he gets how to make her happy, and they enjoy each other's company". That doesn't equal romantic attraction, and I'm not shipping anything in the fandom, but it was interesting how many hard-core shippers never actually managed moments like that.)"

Yes! I'm the same with Zuko/Katara in Avatar; under different circumstances, I could totally see it being a relationship I'd be interested in. And I've always loved the friendship between Harry and Hermione, and been a wee bit put out that people see the need to make it romantic. They already love each other!
