Quote:
Even at fourteen, Harry seemed quite smitten with his headmaster:
Harry scanned the table more carefully. Tiny little Professor Flitwick, the Charms teacher, was sitting on a large pile of cushions beside Professor Sprout, the Herboloy teacher, whose hat was askew over her flyaway gray hair. She was talking to Professor Sinistra of the Astronomy department. On Professor Sinistra's other right was the sallow-faced, hook-nosed, greasy-haired Potions Master Snape – Harry's least favorite person at Hogwarts...
...in the very center of the table, sat Professor Dumbledore, the headmaster, his sweeping silver hair and beard shining in the candlelight, his magnificent deep green robes embroidered with many stars and moons. The tips of Dumbledore's long, thin fingers were together and he was resting his chin upon them, staring up at the ceiling through his half-moon spectacles as though lost in thought.

I'm not a fan of this pairing, I see their relationship as non romantic, but this made me shake me my head. Since when is a description of someone...count towards thier liking them in a "smitten" way? I like that passage-I can picture Dumbledor doing that in my head.
