Your Harry or Draco or Snape isn’t necessarily my Harry or Draco etc

[vickyducky]

I’ve been reading some fest fic (Snarry-a-thon and a Drarry one) and there have been a couple of fics, well written, interesting, involving, but which have had characterisations of one of the protagonists that are so very different to the versions of Harry or Draco or Snape that live in my brain that it threw me out of the fic.

And it made me think how we’ve all read the same books and seen the same films and yet see the characters so differently.
