At the request of the Muggles for Harry Potter group, I once spent 
some time replying to the anti-HP people who were posting a lot on 
some AOL newsgroup.  I read all of their posts, probably about 15 or 
20, and the striking thing about ALL of them was how illiterate they 
were.  These people may talk about being opposed to HP, the Wizard, 
and I suppose Hansel and Gretel too, but in practice they are clearly 
opposed to having any sort of literary life.  It was truly amazing 
how consistent the posts were in terms of poor spelling and grammar; 
my favorite was from the representative of the *Councel of 
Conservitive Citicens* (sic, naturally).  These people are not 
exactly the sharpest knives in the drawer.

My cats have killed off the house elves because they feel they can do 
a better job of taking care of the house by knocking things over, 
leaving dirty paw prints everywhere, spreading cat hair around and 
alternating between sleeping on the newspaper pile and in the basket 
of clean laundry.  Cats are essentially anti-house elves.  Mine are, 
anyway.
