Time for a new Notable Magical Names poll!
 Many thanks to nympheart, who gave the NMN Mods this idea a while ago in our Welcome thread ...  QUOTE That recent poll about the trio, the fight about Scabbers and Crookshanks and who was to blame is an interesting subject. And it reminded me of a similar dilema that I came across while reading HBP that's been nagging me for awhile now. This sort of ethical problem concerns Tom Riddle and Merope Gaunt and who the one in the wrong in their relationship. Tom left Merope while she was pregnant, but Merope used love potion to get him to marry her in the first place. Another interesting point is opinions on who suffered more for the experience. Is it possible for there to be a poll on this topic at some point in the future? Thanks! nympheart So ... we have our topic, and we have nympheart's introduction, setting the poll in context with its central issue of an ethical dilemma. Let's theorise on what this means for the characters at the centre of the question ...  -------------------- Proud Gryffindor
