Calling the Cattle

[asta Lehmberg]

Well I concede your point about the difference between
calling a person fat or plump, depending on your
feelings for that person - I still am a bit
disappointed about JKR simply leaving it at that .... 

but to reply to your second argument:

"The assumption that three houses will be united
against the four
(Slytherin) is just that, an assumption." 

In this I did understand Book 5 differently - there is
no single Slytherin in DA and if any of the members
would have one friend in Slytherin surely they would
have bought him along?

""The truth is we have only seen a very small select
group of Slythrins
and can't realy be sure that they are a true
cross-section. Many
Slytherins are probably just innocent kids who got
sorted into that
house, beyond that, all they want to do is get through
school and go
out and succeed in the world.""

Yes, I agree - but to repeat myself - we are in year 5
and JKR has not shown us one of them - that makes me
wonder. (I have read quite a few good fanfictions
which do just that)

"DA Club will become official"
That is such an intriguing thought - but somehow I do
not think that will happen - especially your
optimistic view on the redemption of House Slytherin.
But I of course would like to see it (hopefully some
time next year and not in 2005 or later)

""So who better than Snape to be the faculty advisor,
now that he and
Harry have a deeper insight into each other. OK that
might be
miserable for Harry, but it will be great for us
readers. ""

But that would mean Harry will have to stop sulking
sometime soon ;-)
Snape finally as DADA - in the beginning I believed
his interest in the job to be a Red Hering or simply a
student rumor.

Greetings Asta
