Ah. No, annemehr sussed out the point I was trying to make - that
having a catch-all abuse/maltreatment category would/could save having
to create further similar categories for Elves, Muggles, whatever at a
later date.
Anyway, Snape is damn near perfect as a teacher - keeps the little sods

Furious invective? Surely not.
Satire? Some mistake, surely.
Well, slight tendencies perhaps.
But there is a valid possibility in there. The fact that it may upset
one or two is merely coincidental - as usual
