<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Finished my last batch, but have a couple of
questions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. I couldn't find Prince of Lies in the
category list. Is it there? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. I had troublecataloguing Harry and
Neville as literary doubles. Generational parallels wasn't quite accurate,
but I didn't find anything better.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Carolyn, to Ginger: <BR>"Alas, you obviously
haven't yet encountered <BR>TNRAMCNTSHPBTAFASETUDWOIT. I like to think this one
is a tongue-in-<BR>cheek joke, but there is the possibility that it isn't. Your
sleeping <BR>nightmares may yet become
reality."<BR><BR>Heh.TNRAMCNTSHPBTAFASETUDWOIT was my nightmare, it seems,
as it appears that *I* asked for it. From#38797:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>>>The Dastardly Debbie maligned:<BR><BR>> I don't believe the
Reverse Memory Charm is necessary to explain <BR>>the Cover Your Tracks
Memory Charm (erm, I think we need an acronym <BR>>for this). <BR><BR>Yes,
this is true. Memory Charm Neville has quite a few dandy <BR>acronyms, but Cover
Their Tracks Memory Charm Neville is practically <BR>naked, as no one has even
*tried* to grind out an acronym for him. <BR><BR>Well, how hard can this acronym
thing be, anyway? Anyone can do it <BR>if you just set your mind to it. To prove
this point, I have <BR>wrestled control of the TAGSWATCH acronym generator from
Tabouli <BR>and, if I twiddle the knobs juuuuuust so, I'm sure I can come up
<BR>with the single longest and best acronym ever generated on the
board:<BR><BR>"Toddler Neville Received A Memory Charm Not To Spare Him Pain,
But <BR>To Allow For A Successful Escape That Ultimately Didn't Work Out,
<BR>I'm Thinking" (T.N.R.A.M.C.N.T.S.H.P.B.T.A.F.A.S.E.T.U.D.W.O.I.T).<BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>>></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>An acronymfor the GARBAGE
SCOW,perhaps?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>About Neville the pureblood, Carolyn
wrote:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>What Neville says
is in PS is: 'my gran brought me up and she's a <BR>witch...but the family
thought I was all Muggle for ages...nothing <BR>happened till I was
eight'<BR><BR>What Ron says in CS is: 'Look at Neville Longbottom, he's a
pureblood <BR>and he can hardly stand a cauldron the right way up'<BR><BR>I
don't think there is any other statement anywhere from an adult <BR>confirming
Ron's remark, which is a sort of sweeping statement that <BR>he could easily
have assumed and not know the truth of - after all, <BR>he knows nothing about
the torture of Neville's parents, so the <BR>Longbottom family is evidently not
much discussed at the Weasleys."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What about this, from OOP ch. 37:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>"'He chose the boy he thought most likely to be a
danger to him,' said Dumbledore. 'And notice this, Harry:he chose,
not the pureblood (which, according to his creed, is the only kind of wizard
worth being or knowing) but the half-blood, like himself.'"</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It's <FONT face=Arial size=2>from a source that JKR
herself has stated that she deems reliable enough to use to convey information
that the reader needs to know, so I doubt he's the
HBP.</FONT></FONT></DIV>
