You can butt in! It feels old school LJ that way. :)

I can actually see why, in the moment, Harry judged Cho for staying loyal to Marietta. She DID almost land them into huge trouble, and honestly, it could've been even worse for the Order - not that Cho had any way of knowing that. But still. However, they could've made peace with it all, and they don't. Also, when we see Cho again in DH, Ginny immediately gets jealous when she offers to go to the Ravenclaw Tower with Harry. Yikes, Ginny.

I think we're supposed to see Snape's love for Lily as romantic. Even though it's not really written as romantic...?

Yes, but by the same token Harry's loyalty to a cause and his friends had landed him in trouble many times so I felt it was disingeneous that he expected from Cho to not defend her best friend because as far as I remember ... it's been so long that I read it, Cho didn't even deny that Marietta did anything wrong when she tried to patch things up with Harry I think she tried to argue with him that her friend was a really a good person who made a mistake but that Marietta was under a lot of pressure from her mother who worked at aa high position at the Ministry. In a way I understood the outrage but then again, Marietta sold Cho out too in the books – so... I think what bothered me most about it all was that Hermione had jinxed that parchment with a spell that left a permanent scar on Marietta's forehead that said 'sneak' if I remember correctly. That was a point that made me really uncomfortable – as in crikey, JRK, how do you come up with something like that mutilating your fellow students in such a fashion for life and that from a character who is the main female character of the series, the character most girls are probably looking up to.

Oh yes, I forgot about that almost Ginny's outburst of jealousy when she insisted Luna go to the Ravenclaw tower with Harry instead of Cho. That made me really not like her for a moment there. Yikes indeed.

Snape's love for Lily reminds me of ... there was this plot on "Good Karma Hospital" this season about this man in his eighties who returned to India to look for the girl he loved when his father was stationed there, back when he was 15 or 16 and against all odds he found her but then walked away when he saw her with her husband. Of course he had a heart attack and she found him etc. etc. long story short, they had a conversation what she said stuck with me "It's easy to love from afar but building a life together, putting your heart on the line every single day, takes courage. Sometimes love just isn't enough." It doesn't sounds very special but then again it's kind of true – especially when we're alone and don't experience that romantic love we may just wish for something that never was and start thinking of the what if-s, which isn't helpful.

Hmm, come to think of it, this shows Hermione has a pretty vengeful side.

I'm not sure that's a perfect parallel, 'cause Snape knew Lily for a very long time. But then he screwed up his own chances of ever being with her by associating with budding Death Eaters and refusing to cut ties with them, rather than being separated by distance. JKR actually said there was a chance Lily would have loved him if he hadn't done that. But he only has himself to blame, not circumstances or fate.
