How do people feel about -

	Ps and Qs

Is -

	P's and Q's

preferable? Note that the P & Q are in capitals. The apostrophe 
clearly makes sense (IMHO) if the p & q are lowercase.

And

	Remus's wand

Or

	Remus' wand



My favourite spelling howler was in some junk mail from an insurance 
company, urging me to take their cover for "piece of mind".
