Firstly, thanks for the compliment on the name. I will come out and 
confess now that my real name is actually Jennie.  However, there are 
so many Jens, Jennies and Jennifers on the internet that I chose long 
ago to use "Zsenya" (which is a nickname from several friends) as my 
official e-mail and internet name, so there it is.

Hmmmm... I will have to go back and try to read some of the other 
posts. Snape is your favorite character? May I ask why (I'm not 
being judgmental - I really want to know why!) He has always puzzled 
me.  I mean, Dumbledore trusts him for some reason, yet he is so 
obviously not entirely trustworthy.  I mean, he completely tried to 
get Sirius kissed by the Dementor, which is totally and utterly evil, 
when he knew that there might be more to the story.  So what happened 
in the past to put him in the "trustworthy" category?  I guess only 
time (and books 5 - 7) will tell.

I like Lupin too.  I think he is cuddly, despite being a Werewolf.
