I remember my english teacher in soph year (h.s.) also taught British Lit for seniors and was trying to make the first book a required reading. I don't know if he succeeded though, I went to a Catholic school and there were a few teachers opposing him. Mostly the students just didn't want to read b/c they were too "mature" for a kid's book....I bet over half of them are hooked now!
What other barriers does Harry's mother's love protect him from? Now Voldy can touch him, but what other ways is DD talking about? I can't think of any (that might the pain killers though, I haven't been able to think straight all day
)
