malsperanza...for once.
I'm curious: Why do people think Luna is not a complete or well-rounded character, and why do some of you think she is going to remain a secondary character? Is it because she is introduced so late in the story?
I find Luna more interesting and faceted than most of the one-note female characters (exept maybe McGonagall). She has secrets, and therefore she has potential. And pity (compassion) is very easily transformed into affection. Harry, Luna, and Neville are a Trio of people who have lost parents.
But mainly, I think it's obvious from an alchemical perspective that anyone named Luna (the Moon, one of the seven alchemical planets, associated with the alchemical metal silver) is going to be an important figure. The Moon is on the one hand Diana the Huntress and Artemis the Virgin; on the other hand, she is also associated with Venus. Don't be too distracted by the association with female lunacy.
