    I hate the "Harry was actually very smart so smart thhat he ccould read shakespere (SP?) by the age of three and understand all the underlying messages and hidden meanings." When I was three I was babling three year old nonsense to other three year olds.

    When have you seen that? Apart form Prodigy, I don't think I've ever seen a fic where they try to make a three year old genius Harry(and even in that one I think he was older). And to be honest, I don't remember for the life of me what I was like at three. However, considering a lot of schools start to teach reading and writing at four, ones intellectual capacity increases fairly quickly at that young of an age. The youngest I have seen a smart Harry is 6 or 7 and that seems entirely realistic to me. I know at my school we were learning basic math, could read normally and had the ability to have discussions like normal people at that stage.

    I think he was exagurating the age. Most likely he's refering to Harry becoming super smart at a young age.

    Cliche I have come to hate is the Friends-who-spy-on-Harry as a betrayal. Damn it!! There are worse things than telling a senile old fart what you are doing.

    Even still, that's just the start of the betrayal. Soon they'll be stealing his cloak and map. (Snorts)

    Edit: Oh, and we can't forget the hot wild kinky bum sex they are having in broom closets behind his back.
