Hi --
<p>I've moved this thread over to OT-Chatter since it doesn't involve anything
from canon as yet. <g>

It is in a FAQ entitled "Potential Romance Pairings." This FAQ is
written and ready to be uploaded. The technical staff of the FAQ
Committee seems to be fairly busy at the moment with their outside lives
so I can't tell you when it might be uploaded. Hopefully soon though!
It will save you going through thousands of messages so I'd hold out.

Yes. The H/H cruiseliner is a very fun and nice place to be -- may
I reserve a comfortable stateroom aboard for you? <g>
<blockquote TYPE=CITE><tt>Is there a Lily/Snape ship? If so, how does one
join it?</tt></blockquote>
This would definitely be a minority ship I think. Many people may
subscribe to the view that Snape had a thing for Lily and while she might
have returned his feelings (it's *possible,* although *weird* in my book)
-- she clearly ended up with James Potter. The ships really focus
more on pairings that involve 2 characters who are alive. :--)
