> Will our not-so-evil Slytherin Chic get a hold of the fourth book in
enough time?

I can't believe that *all* Slytherins are evil.

You might not be a Slytherin: I don't believe the
Jung-Meyer-Briggs-Keirsey personality types predict which
house. I previously mentioned that ten or fifteen years ago,
I did the Meyer-Brigg thing with a group of friends, and I read
the descriptions of all the types (which were not the same as on
http://www.keirsey.com/cgi-bin/newkts.cgi ) and when I read ENFP, I
shouted: "That is an absolute portrait of Rosalyn!" (a friend of mine
who very suddenly dropped dead at age 38 a couple of years ago)

Then I thought about it a while longer and realized that it was also an
adequate picture of Terry (a man at my job at that time).

The description -- I must paraphrase -- said that to ENFP,relating with
other people is the breath of life (or, if they were fish, it would be
the water they swim in). Anywhere they go where there are people, such
as standing in line, they get into conversation with people and usually
leave having made a new friend, with whom they keep in touch for years,
not out of duty or networking as career strategy, but simply because
keeping in touch with friends is fun. They talk a lot, and are very good
at making all the stories they tell be funny, but they also listen a lot,
with the result that they know all the gossip there is. They are never
on time for anything -- couldn't be punctual if their lives depended on
it -- and usually don't even start working on an assignment until the
deadline has arrived.

Roz fit this portrait and was an obvious GRYFFINDOR. Terry fit this
portrait and may well have been a SLYTHERIN. Both had innumerable friends,
whom Roz viewed as people for her to protect and Terry viewed as people
he could make use of.
