ALL THE FEELINGS! I've been a complete mess at least half the summer because I keep thinking about things connected to the books and being an emotional nostalgic half the time. XD
I hadn't, and still don't count myself as part of the fandom, but I hadn't even been involved since way before the release of the seventh book. But I've heard enough from the sidelines of the fandom to be able to tell that the Snape fans are not people I wan't to get involved with. XD
I think my loathing of the romantic pairings involving Harry was just a general "I am so sick and tired of the whole notion that every book movie and tv show has to have a romantic subplot!". It's frustrating really. I just wanted the main lead to not be distracted by romance. In general my opinion on Rowling's writing was that she never really got the romantic relationship bit down perfectly. I mean it's better than say Stephanie Meyer. But it really isn't one of her strong points. (Um, but because I have gone from a completely sane and collected shipper to a crazy and rabid Ron/Hermione shipper I have to say that they are the exception to this of course).
