While my basic opinion is how Susan phrased it and I'm clearly one of
the ones with rather strong opinions on this particular subject, I think
my posts over the last couple of weeks had been more in the
light-hearted column (i.e., "I'm siding with Ebony's teenage students,"
etc.).  So, the vociferousness of posts on Sunday took me off-guard to
say the least.  Like Neil though, I'm hardly going to throw a temper
tantrum if JKR writes it differently than I would prefer.  These *are*
fictional characters, and even though I enjoy the debate, I do have a
reasonably healthy perspective on the whole thing.  :--)
