I usually find fanon assumptions irritating, but every once in a while the universal consciousness spits out an especially charming bit of fanon. Right now my favorite is the idea that the young Dumbledore was in the habit of leaving his initials and a date carved into park benches, trees, buildings, etc., often in combination with those of a young lady. Which leads us to the idea that Dumbledore was a real ladies' man in his youth -- something I find easy to believe and fun to imagine.
On the other hand, I think I'll go on a tri-state Cruciatus spree if I read one more raging-coffee-fiend!Blaise story, especially one in which he spouts romantic poetry in an Italian accent and is set to inherit the family vineyards.
What are your favorite bits of fanon? And, of course, your least favorite.
