I don't know about the rest of you, but I know that for me there are certain songs that will always make me think of certain characters/ships/events. I figured I'd ask you all what song reminds you of each of the following (I basically did a bunch of really random things. My answers are included):

Harry: Five for Fighting- Superman. The song deals with a person who has been forced to become a hero for everyone, but is flesh and blood like the rest of us. Very much a song that Harry could relate to. lyrics

Draco Malfoy: Alanis Morissette, Narcissus. This song deals with the often arrogant nature of Draco. Love him or hate him, this song is exactly who Draco is- IMO. Personally, I love the guy, but I can't deny the song has got him pegged. lyrics

Professor Snape: Lifehouse Sick Cycle Carousel. This song is about how a person can get trapped in trying to follow a certain pathway. The great thing is that this song can be interpreted two ways: in his early life, following Tom Riddle and trying to be that person; in his later life, tying to walk away from Voldemort. Very interesting. lyrics

Hermione: Pat Benatar, Invincible. Hermione is just not the type of girl to sit around and wait for someone to do something for her. She does what she needs to do. She is strong and fights for what she believes in.lyrics

Your Favorite Character (or another character of your choice, if favorite already listed above: My favorite character is Luna. Everytime I hear the song Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) by Edison Lighthouse, I think of some guy singing about her. In my mind, it tends to be Neville, but I'm just odd that way. lyrics

Your OTP: My OTP is Draco/Ginny. Evanescence's Anywhere always makes me think of these two escaping their famlies together and starting over. Very sweet. In actuality though, this song could work with just about any angsty pairing. lyrics

Actually, I never really thought about that. I shall look through songs later, but Linkin Park's "Numb" reminds me a bit of Draco. BTW, thanks for the D/G song, their my guilty pleasure ship xP

just the fact that you know about Evanescence's "Anywhere" made me so happy.

I think harry and luna are going to have a "thing" but i'd like to see him with Ginny.

Autopilot Off - Clockwork makes me think of chamber of secrets.

Actually Hoobastank's "The Reason" makes me think of Draco and Ginny for some reason, from Draco's perspective. *pets d/g ship* Ah but perhaps that's just me....

Ditto. I completely agree. That was actually one of the first things I thought of when I heard the song.

Hahaha, funny you should mention Superman for being Harry's song! I made a video (http://www.brightgirl.net/harry%20potter%20superman.wmv) to that song featuring Harry! Have a look if you want to see how extremely well it matches up! :)

Actually....I've already seen your video. I have it on my computer and it is one of the main reasons I think of Harry when I hear that song. I love fanvideos- and yours is very good.

Meh, I know this post's been inactive for a while... but I'd like to add:

Remus Lupin: "Trouble" by Cat Stevens http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/cat-stevens/28110.html

This song reminded me of him from the first time I heard it, it's about someone who's been through a lot in life, who's had a lot to deal with and is literally tired out from it all. The song tells of someone who is "beat and torn, shattered and tossed and worn, too shocking to see", which could be taken as a metaphor, but also it could be taken to be what Remus must feel like after his transformations. Really, even the way it's sung by Cat Stevens further enforces the similarity, it's sung in a melancholy and quiet way, like someone who's so close to being broken.
