evidence that JKR wants us to view James well?
I understand from some comments made by other posters that there exist interview comments from JKR that are so positive about James as to make it clear that she wants us to view him well.
Could someone - anyone - point out where those interviews are? Maybe provide a link over to Accio Quote about where they are?
Because honestly I can't see that JKR actually likes James. I haven't seen it yet in any of her interviews, although I admit to not being nearly as familiar with some of her most recent comments, especially following her US interviews after DH was published.
Someone also suggested that JKR had never been bullied or she wouldn't sympathize with bullies (assuming she does sympathize with the Marauders). Actually, it's the opposite. She was bullied quite a bit in school. Interestingly, one newspaper article revealed that one of her refuges of choice when being bullied in school was to go to the science block and hang out. This was where her mum was working under the supervision of JKR's supposedly disliked chemistry teacher.
