102. • J. K. Rowling talking about someone:
I think X would be very gifted in Occlumency, unlike Harry.
Harry’s problem with it was always that his emotions were too
near the surface and that he is in some ways too damaged.
But I thought of X as someone who is very capable of
compartmentalizing his life and his emotions, and always has
done. So he's shut down his pity. So he suppresses virtually all
of the good side of himself. But then he's playing with the big
boys, as the phrase has it, and suddenly, having talked the talk
he's asked to walk it for the first time and it is absolutely
terrifying.
And I think that that is an accurate depiction of how some
people fall into that kind of way of life and they realize what
they're in for. I felt sorry for X. Well, I’ve always known this
was coming for X, obviously, however nasty he was.
Id X.
