I really like your thoughts on how Tara believed Willow's attitude toward magic was similiar to her own. I think Tara was awed by the power in Willow and interpreted the fact that Willow didn't believe in (or hadn't yet learned to exploit) her power as Willow's respect for her power. Willow really didn't see what she could do with magic as anything more than another learned discipline. There was nothing wrong with using chemistry or computer technology in her daily life in addition to fighting demons, why couldn't magic be utilized the same way? It makes you wonder sometimes why Giles didn't try harder to help her to understand the origins and orders of magic, especially after his Eyghon debacle. Maybe he was too busy with Buffy? Maybe because their dangers were always so immediate, their lives so full that there was never time? Hmm...really get can't behind that theory since he spent most of Season 4 watching Jeopardy! and playing guitar. But, again, that's a story in and of itself. Thanks for the input. :)
