What a great idea! I don't know why I didn't think about it myself
:-). I guess I forgot that Alicia was mentioned in "The Sacking of
Severus Snape". I thought she was in the earlier books, and I only
have DH audiobook (Jim Dale), which I haven't listened to yet. So I
listened to this chapter and now I know it's definitely *not*
"Ali-sha", which was the only thing I wanted to know - I don't
understand much about long and short vowels :-). McGonagall seem to
have some strange accent though :-).
