Thanks, Wanda; something odd

[Rachel Bray]

Great card!  I needed that this morning. (It's Saturday, gorgeous 
out, I'm slightly hung over and I'm at work.  Why?  I'm still trying to 
figure that one out....)

We were at a bowling alley last night (I haven't bowled in over 15 
years but my first two turns was a spare and a strike.....but the 
game went quickly downhill after that).  A family was bowling next 
to us and their two children were reading SS and PoA.  As the 
night went on, I heard them break into a very heated argument as 
to who was meaner, Snape or Voldemort.  It was an odd argument 
but interesting just the same because they couldn't have been 
older than 10 or 11.  My friend Nancy (another Potterfan) and I just 
kept smiling at each other and straining our ears to hear everything 
they were saying.  At one point, the mother turned and looked at 
them and said "Keep your voices down a bit, you're bothering the 
people next to us."  I laughed and said "On the contrary, we're 
finding their argument very interesting." and went on to explain that 
we were very big Harry fans.  She looked shocked.  Whatever.

Anyway, one of their lines from the argument was this:

"Snape is the meanest one because he has a choice to be nice to 
Harry like he's nice to Draco.  Voldemort doesn't have a choice 
because he's evil through and through."

Interesting.....

Oh, the thrill of the chase as I soar through the air
With the Snitch up ahead and the wind in my hair
As I draw ever closer, the crowd gives a shout
But then comes a Bludger and I am knocked out.
