Yes, I'm afraid it's another "I remember when", old man rant. Please feel free to ignore if so inclined.

I feel that, for our purposes RPatz is Cedric Diggory and nothing more. Vampires are not Goth Abercrombie and Fitch models with eternal love, they are tragic, parasitic figures postponing death by stealing existence from others. They suck all life from those foolish enough to hang around them.

Werewolves, also, are not intriguing house pets with cute mannerisms, they are ravening, rending whirlwinds of fang and fur intent on removing the universe's innards and then showing them to it. Lupin is established in canon as a very odd sort of werewolf in his desire not to harm - Greyback seems far more typical and admired by the werewolf subcommunity.

I'm sorry if this seems harsh, but we keep seeing the "human plus" version of the Dark, and I strongly believe that in the final analysis, it is overall "human minus".
