Line 43:
* Barty Crouch, Jr. due to being played by [[David Tennant]] in the movie and having a [[Tragic Villain]] [[Backstory]] in the book. Sometimes he gets paired with characters nearly twenty years younger than him like Hermione or Luna.
* Interestingly played with in the fic [[Methods of Rationality]]--Draco is a genuinely likable boy who just happened to be raised by [[Star Wars|Emperor Palpatine]]. Harry interacts with him rather differently in his first meeting, and instead of the immediate politically charged rivalry we get a less-immediate, still-politically-charged kind-of-alliance,-maybe. And then later on, when he's an occasional viewpoint character with a fairly sympathetic perspective, you keep running into the fact that he "considers rape to be what the cool older kids did" and believes Dumbledore to be entirely evil.
* Marrietta Edgecombe gets a bit of this as well, as a glance at her entry on the [[Unfortunate Implications]] page will show. Admittedly we don't know that much about her but some fans like to imagine her as a tragic heroine who is torn between loyalty to her family and the DA, and that her punishment is completely unfair. Except she is shown to not want to be in the DA from the start, only there because Cho practically dragged her to the first meeting. Also people like to cite her having a parent in the Ministry as justifiable pressure, clearly forgetting she '''chose''' to seek Umbridge out personally and rat the DA out. That's also knowing that Umbridge had been known to pretty much torture students who stepped out of line. Bear in mind that also means she went to Umbridge knowing Cho, one of her best friends, would be punished as well. Considering what resulted from her betrayal her punishment - the scarspurple pustules spelling "Sneak" - is pretty tame. People also like to play up that she is scarred for life when she never even seems to consider going to Hermione and apologizing for what she did in the hopes she'd remove the scarspustules.
