 My answers to the mixer:
> * Do you believe in ghosts? Why or why not?

No, because I live in a really old house and it is much more 
convenient *not* to think about them.  But I do believe that the 
spirits of people we loved still watch over us (kind of like the girl 
in "The Lovely Bones".)

Well, for one thing, they are surprised to find out that I am a Harry 
Potter fanatic.

It is my name. The email address is a contracted version of my name.

No one's. The elf names are cute, though.

I would be Hermione--but without the house-elf obsession.

My harmonious family--kids not fighting, biting etc.

Molly Weasley-type fear of injury/death of one of mu children.

Birth of my children or their sweet faces telling me that they love 
me.

A big cat or a unicorn.

It would be nice to have an animagus that could fly--so maybe a 
unicorn.

Hufflepuff.)
I would rather be a Gryffindor, but suspect that I would really get 
sorted into Ravenclaw by the *real* hat.

Only 38% obsessed!  Wow!  My husband will be *stunned* to learn that 
there are others out there who are *much more* obsessed than I!

High score was 22.  Most of the questions are easy but a few are 
*very* obscure.

Elle (really *annoyed* that she got sorted into Slytherin and 
*refusing* to join Pansy Parkinson's gang of sniggering Slytherin 
girls)
