I don't know, I have some issues with the characterizations in HP. Mostly that JKR seems to grab one character trait and run with it. So Harry's our brave hero; Hermione's the smart one; Ron's... actually, it doesn't entirely hold true for Ron, except that he's basically the trusty-rusty sidekick. McGonagall's the severe good-hearted one and Dumbledore, at least until Book 5, was the all-seeing all-knowing wise one (5 did complicate his character in rather interesting ways...) Draco's evil, his sidekicks are stupid and evil. So on and so forth. There are a lot of stock characters running around, when you think about it. The most interesting one is Snape, and that's only because we keep being told that he's good even though he consistently acts freakin' evil. Black was very interesting, actually, but then Rowling killed him.
