Line 17:
* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: For nearly every character. Unsurprising given the series' popularity.
** For instance, is [[The Smart Guy|Hermione]] a [[Memetic Badass]]? [[Mary Sue]]? Sweet, brainy girl? [[Insufferable Genius]]? Despite the fact that [[The Smart Guy|Hermione]] is written as one of the most unchanged characters in the series, she has highly varied fan opinion.
** There is a good case to be made that {{spoiler|[http://www.cracked.com/article_19266_5-movie-fan-theories-that-make-more-sense-than-movie.html Neville really was the subject of the prophecy], instead of having [[Missed the Call]] (see below).}} Even as of [[Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows|book 7]], considering the [[Worthy Opponent]] speech [[Big Bad|Voldemort]] gives him {{spoiler|("the [[Big Bad|Dark Lord]] will mark him as his equal")}} but how [[Butt Monkey|Neville]] defied him and pulled the Sword of Gryffindor from the Sorting Hat to kill Nagini {{spoiler|("but he has power the [[Big Bad|Dark Lord]] knows not")}}. Or that, given [[Big Bad|Voldemort's]] paralyzing fear of his own mortality, Neville making Voldemort mortal again could be considered "vanquishing" him as much as {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Voldemort's]] actual death}}, which was really {{spoiler|more a case of [[Big Bad|Voldemort]] being [[Hoist by His Own Petard]] anyway than [[The Hero|Harry]] delivering any sort of killing blow.}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20120205110922/http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/faq_view.cfm?id=84 Rowling has officially debunked this theory], but that doesn't stop some fans.
** A popular fan theory is that Colin has a crush on Harry, due to the frequent comparisons between him and Ginny in the second book, along with the fact that he's one of the few prominent Gryffindors who never dates anyone. {{spoiler|This would make his death in Deathly Hallows an example of [[Bury Your Gays]].}}
** Everything about Snape's morality is debated by fans and [[Rule of Cautious Editing Judgement|let's leave it at that]].
