Does anyone else think that besides giants, snakes and trolls should also
be appealed to by Dumbledore, especially the snakes? There seems to be a
lot of prejudice against snakes in the Wizarding world, and yet I can't
believe they're inherently evil. And what about parselmouths? You know,
there was a rumor before Book 4 came out that Harry would be expelled from
Hogwarts... Is it possible that now Fudge will push a bill through the
ministry barring parselmouths from attending school? Will Dumbledore be
forced to kick Harry out? Will he resign as headmaster in protest? Will we
get a "Saturday Night Massacre" scenario in which Dumbledore, McGonnegall,
and on down the line refuse to expell Harry and are consequently fired,
until finally we get Headmaster Snape, who is only too willing to
oblige? Will Fudge, shirking the idea of Voldemort coming back, make
*Harry* his whipping boy/"wedge issue" instead? Am I too deep in the
forests of wild speculation?
