Most of that stuff at the SS I’ve heard before, though not the bit about Crookshanks/Ms. Figg. That’s an interesting idea… But anyway, I totally support the Snape vampire thing, even if it doesn’t come out in OOP. In favor of not accidentally boring you with things you already know, I’ll skip all the reasons. My pet theory though, totally my own (and totally alone in agreement as well), is that Lily will be revealed as a Slyth. Yeah yeah laff it up, we’ll see… I just think JKR’s put a suspicious amount of work into the Slyth stereotype- she’s setting us up I tell you!

Also, with regard to your previous post, the A’s BB was non-fizzy, hot, and ya know, if memory serves I think they put a dollop of whipped cream on it as well. And thanks Stepan for your post- I’m rarin’ to start sewin!
