I am not a fan of bashing characters, or of the annoying habit of Dumbledore's inner monologue consisting on "the Greater Good," but this is one of the exceptions.
Unlike most writers that just bash characters in the series for the heck of it, the author does make an effort of explaining in and out of story why certain liberties are made with the characters.
Molly trying to drug Harry with love potions? Based on a scene in the 3rd book where she told Hermione and Ginny about her brewing a love potion and no seemed bothered by it.
Ron being treated as a false friend? The story goes through great pains to examine him and have Harry reflect on the treatment of his former best friend. Not to mention, his behavior as a prefect in the story isn't exactly as far off as his behavior in the same role in the 5th book.
Ginny being obsessed with Harry and thinking she loves him? Harry makes it clear that she is in love with the idea that he is supposed to be. I don't mind Harry/Ginny, but with the writing examining some of her characteristics, it makes a little more sense. She is interpreted as the least threatening one.
Dumbledore? .....Do I really have to mention how he knowingly dumped Harry in an abusive home?!
The story is admittedly not that focused, but its more on the heroes taking down the threat enemy by enemy. Not that bad, all things considered.
Interesting
