May 18, 2010 at 5:54 comment added BCnrd @Charles: The aspect of Ch. I which is painful is exactly the step of making the smooth curve model...because there Hartshorne introduces a rather wacky (to a beginner) notion of "abstract curve", and doesn't have tools at that point to discuss normalization in a meaningful way. Getting rid of the singularities is (I think) the most serious part of the leap from the function field back to the Riemann surface. It's also subtle in a purely analytic approach if one avoids the use of algebraic methods (and doesn't have available a theory of complex-analytic spaces...).
