"'Do most of us really care to have the record set straight?' she wrote, adding: 'The whole reason to discuss HP online is to discuss the what might have beens, the what could have beens, the possible pasts, and the possible futures.'" Yes dear, if I might say so, we do care. Just because you feel the things you write should be canonical doesn't mean all of us do.

Zabini, Blaise (wizard)
b. 1980
Slytherin 1991-98 (SS7)
