    In HBP JKR sets Dumbledore up as a Julius Caesar... Revered, Popular, General, has the world wrapped around his finger, and gets stabbed in the back (figuratively speaking) by one of his trusted friends/leutenants. Thus opening the door for the next Emperor... Oops I mean "Hero of the Light" to take the reigns, but to do so he must wade through a Civil War.

    Dumbledore = Julius Caesar.

    Harry = Augustus Caesar (not really Dumbledore's son but then Augustus wasn't Caesar's kid either.)

    Severus Snape = One of the Senators plotting against Dumbledore and the one to deliver the final blow.

    Rufus Scrimgeour = Marc Antony, it's a bit of a stretch here... But if you think about it Antony was the leader of the Roman Army (like Scrimgeour is the leader of the Ministry) Antony claimed to be the rightful leader and tried to take the power from Augustus the rightful heir (Scrimgeour wants Harry to just go along with the Ministry)

    I am seriously pissed at JKR right now. She just slaughtered one of my favorite historical figures under the guise of Dumbledore. She must pay.

    After seeing her great idea for removing Dumbles was called the corny as shit "Unbreaklable Vow" I honestly doubt she is smart enough anymore to make that drastic of a connection.

    I'd go for the good old Star wars analogy:

    Vader: Snape

    Palpatine = Voldie

    Obi won= Dumbles

    Luke= Harry.

    Snape has supposedly turned on Dumbles, killing him, he'll possibly redeem himself later on to finish off Palpatine if this is true.

    I have actually thought the exact same thing.

    She'll end the series with everyone wondering if he was a bastard or not.

    *chuckles* Et tu Brute?

    :eek: Lovely comparison! I agree, although, there are probably many, many, better comparisons I find this one one of my favorites.

    Perhaps it is my conflicting emotions of hate and love of the play reflecting on my conflicting emotions of hate and love on HBP. Besides, I've always found irony amusing.

    Good insight!

    Or we could use yet another analogy:

    Voldie - piece of shit

    Snape - piece of corn in said shit

    Dumbledore - dog

    Harry - City worker who cleans it all up.

    lol :)

    But Harry DOESN'T clean it all up... Thats the problem, he is to much of a little bitch to actually clean it up in canon.


    Voldemort- A sad strange little man, who if Albus Dumbledore had any common sense he would have killed on sight. I mean seriously in book 6 the only Serial Killer trait the guy is missing is bed wetting.

    Severus Snape- Little faggot who likes to take it up the ass.

    Draco Malfoy- Little faggoty ferret who likes to take it up the ass.

    Harry- Dude who needs to chill the fuck out, pop a few ecstasy tablets, ingest a little LSD, and party.

    I try to be honest... I really do.


    But sometimes... Well I can be a bit blunt.

    In essence, they all suck, which is why FanFiction was born...so Harry could evolve from the little canon bitch.

    Yeah to little Fanon bitch, Harry as canon bitch doesn't even have half the powers that Harry the fanon bitch has. (At least this is was most fanfics are about)Oh and not to forget FanonBitch!Harry comes often in gay.

    In EoH, hes powerful, but nothing special...at least not until a certain event, but even then just powerful...equal to Voldiekins.

    But stories like yours (yours is cool by the way, hope to see an update soon) are sadly the minority.

    Quite...I'd not even consider reading about 90% of the HP FanFiction on FF.Net.

    How dare you defile Darth Vader by comparing that piece of shit Snape to him! Snape is nowhere near as cool as Vader.

    Whoa.. You revived a really old post :| (and I add an equally pointless one to it because I have never seen star wars, but I'll comment anyway despite my ignorance and say: Yeah, Snape doesn't seem to fit the "Vader" profile from what I can tell..)
