Re: why?

[nevrafire.livejournal.com]

i want to say that I wasn't trying to be Mean or mysogenist to merope. and of course she deserved love- her family was Horrible, Horrible so she deserved something better. I know merope is th victim, and i never said she was a bad person. I mean she ended up dead because she tried to support a child by herself and couldn't survive in the end. Tom riddle Sr. is a monster.

also- i should have said this before- when I said I support the love potion-as fact. I was not saying that because merope is ugly and poor that was the only way she could get Tom Riddle Sr and it's Her fault Voldemort is the way he is. the way I see it, merope Might Have used the Potion on Tom riddle Sr. - and that is Bad. But that was a mistake out of desperation But it takes two to tango- so like, I think Voldemort turned out the way he is because most likely Tom Riddle Sr. I mean his character is not described really nicely- except of being handsome- but he's a horrible person.

what like, I was trying to say is that we have no evidence of the love potion being used Not being true or being true- its 50/50. so we can't know if dumbledore is assuming things or knowing the truth and call him evil meany liar- because he and us reader got half truths/info. that the problem is not dumbledore, even if he did do some sucky things, the problem is that the story/rowling left it ambiguous not totally clear.

. and either way Merope got a really sucky outcome either way- regardless of wether she was pretty/ugly rich or poor- this is a girl that got knocked up, the "boyfriend" found out and left her to survive alone. and then she died. :(

like my whole point was not to jump to conclusion on who is lying/making stuff up because readers didn't got all the info- rowling does and she didn't made it clear and that was bad.
