Ha, ha, I think your last paragraph was exactly what Jo was saying. :) Are we sure that marriage is an Unbreakable Vow for wizards? I remember that the minister said, "then I declare you bonded for life" but I missed the fact that he waved his wand and made stars spiral around the couple until I looked it up just now. However, this is different from when Snape made an Unbreakable Vow in HBP; it says there that "they grasped right hands" and "a thin tongue of brilliant flame issued from the wand and wound its way around their hands like a red-hot wire" (p. 36). I have no complaints about how Jo depicted sexuality; the way she did it leaves room for the imagination but still allows younger readers to enjoy the books. I also like how you, Inverarity, portray the romantic parts of your books; it's entertaining without being distracting. The romances add humor and character development. Alex is a normal teenage girl who wants to experience everything in life. And I always thought Max being gay shed some light on his preocupation with his sisters making good marriages so that they would be accepted by wizarding society.
