OK. I just read all 5 pages of this thread and feel my questions have been answered. I, too, had a problem with the RoR being filled with lots of stuff and Tom Riddle not noticing that, but the explanation makes sense. Of course, I barely remember the details of the other books, so I'm willing to believe just about anything.
I. too, thought the baby thing was Voldermort.
My crushes in the book are Sirius and Snape with a fascination for Bellatrix and Narcissa. I LOVE both of their names. I think it is the hair all around. Malfoy Sr also seems pretty hot, but I love the actor as Hook. And, speaking of hair, John Malkovitch as Valmont is super hot. I love long hair on men. Love it love it love it.
I was a voracious reader as a kid - much more so than I am now. L'Engle, Nancy Drew, Phantom Tollbooth, Black Beauty, (Misty of Chincoteague, any horsey books) Narnia, Roald Dahl - I couldn't get enough of any of them.
Oh, and when Harry wakes up naked, I could totally picture it.
