Dammit, Stouffer! Can't you see that Zyn is actually the likeable one here? Sure, he gets pissed off at his wussy, overbearing prick of a brother (I'm really starting to hate the guy), but can you honestly blame him? I'm getting the distinct impression that the poor kid is constantly being shoved aside by everyone for being inferior, because for some reason everyone thinks his brother is Da Bomb. And why? Why? What has Rah done to merit this?

And even despite all this, Zyn still cares enough about his brother to instantly freak out when the latter is in trouble. Did Stouffer truly not get what children and sensible adults would conclude from all this? Geeze!

*raises hand* Question. Given the fact, mentioned early in the book, that all Muggles are bald, shouldn't hair, any kind of hair, be a kind of marvel to them? So, why do they consider Rah's blond hair to be better than Zyn's red hair? Does not compute.
