Morgan Micro Fiction
Con:
*siigh* I have the same reaction I had when everybody including JK Rowling and Harry Potter forgave Snape for being a prick.
Not willing to forgive him so easily.

I also agree, that is why I have real problems with this effort to rehab Morgan.

She is talking about the burden of his birth, Malcolm also apologizes when Harry has his dream/vision of him.

Because whatever he was doing to hide them ended when he died. Either because he died or the spell burned up in the fire. That's my guess.
Mira, do you mean being born at all, the circumstances of his birth, or him being a starborn? Anyway, here is the quote: "I was so arrogant. I laid too great a burden upon you to bear alone." What is Harry's burden? Would Harry have been alone if she hadn't died, stated another way, is this a "to be ring bearer is to be alone" situation? If she had chosen better protectors, would Harry still be alone? That's all up for debate because we can only guess as to what she's talking about or what a starborn is beyond rare and having power of Outsiders.
Snape was a prick because he hated James. Morgan was a prick because he had to determine if Harry was a destroyer before killing him. This honestly makes Morgan make more sense. Morgan didn't want to execute Molly. He was never as hardcore as Harry thought he was. And Morgan probably came to truly dislike Harry because Harry can be a real smart ass.

I don't see this as "forgiveness" or "rehab." Insofar as that happened -- or didn't -- I think that was several books ago.
Harry came to see Morgan as more like a burnt-out cop, still "Fighting the Good Fight" but having lost too many individual battles, seen too many tragedies and horrors. Morgan diverted from Necromancer-hunting to rescue the kids. When Harry and Eb were discussing the Grey Council, and who to recruit, Harry spoke quite firmly that Morgan wasn't a Black Hat; e didn't think Morgan could be trusted, but only because he thought Morgan himself was too trusting, and would blab about GC to the Merlin and others.
I hope y'all savor the irony, there: he thought Morgan was too trusting.
Go ahead...
Let that roll around on your palate, so the flavors develop: hardcase Donald Morgan, too trusting...

But no, there's no "rehab" in that piece. Morgan kept pushing and pushing on Harry, trying to stress-test him to the breaking point. The problem with that strategy is that it never stops. You can be impressed that he suffered <X> tribulation, but still not trust him enough, so you subject him to even-worse <Y>. Then Z. But you can't yet be CERTAIN, of course, so you go to Alpha/Beta/Gamma/etc, and then one of the Aramaic alphabets, or Cyrilic, and so on.
You can never be sure, so the "testing" and the torments never stop.
Just in case.
Not seein' the rehab there...
