If my character were the same now as I was at fifteen, I doubt any of you would have friended my journal except out of pity. :)

I also think the excerpt from Snape's Worst Memory serves so nicely to show the way teenagers act when they are in that first stage of puppy love. It's kind of an oblique way of showing Harry that what he thought was completely true -- Lily despising James -- was nothing like the reality of the situation.

Just a thought. Harry never gets advice about girls.
