Yeah,  my feedback service had a hard drive crash and I've lost that 
contact. They tell me they're going to recover it and so I've sort of 
let it hang, but I HATE broken links and I think I'll have to remove 
it at least temporarily. Sorry about that.

Too picky? What's that mean?

And you will have also read that I know I can't, no matter how hard I 
try. It still says in a few places that Ginny sent that singing 
Valentine to Harry. I keep intending to fix those...

 At the Detentionpage, there is stated: "Filch

Excellent point. I'll fix it straightaway.

I'll add them as well. That gives me something to do this evening. :)

Someone brought up the question lately of what happened to 
Voldemort's closest friends at Hogwarts, the ones he used the V-name 
with while still in school. Considering that wizards live longer and 
might therefore have children later in life, I wonder if Mr. Malfoy 
might be one of them. Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were very possibly at 
Hogwarts before Tom Riddle, fifty years ago, and they have younger 
children.
