Do you think so, Susan?  I thought she was absolutely repellant!! 
*Particularly* when she clicked her fingers at him.  (I worked as a
waitress while at college, so I concede that that sort of thing
*really* pushes my buttons) And if someone drew parallels between my
parentage and the breeding of a dog, well.........I have to say that I
would lose it too!  I admit, though, like other parts of the movie,
it's hard to say how much I'm taking at face value, and how much is
coloured by my knowledge of the books.  

I really enjoyed Marge's moustache - more luxuriant than Lupin's!
