Not wanting to look like a total idiot - but what does the T stand for?

There are a lot of people who already believe lots of lies about how
"evil" HP is, I can just imagine the reaction to a GLB character. If JKR
wants to write that in, I say fine. As far as I'm concerned, JKR can
write in another school from the planet of Mars with students who
worship cheese, and I will read it. I want more canon!

And I think Seth Green from "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" would make a
wonderfully cool Bill.
