Hi --

Ebony -- hope you are having a fabulous time in the UK (and that the
get-together in Oxford was tons of fun)!  We've discussed a fair bit on
the Hogwarts Express before, but it's usually tied in with the Student
Population stuff that I know you avoid like the plague.  <g>  I like
what others have said in recapping what we've discussed before and
bringing in some new theories.

Hmmm..... might it be that Snape had made prejudicial remarks about
werewolfs that enraged Sirius?  Or, maybe Snape had figured out that
Lupin was a werewolf and taunted him directly?  These are reasons for
the prank that I hadn't considered before myself.  Any thoughts?

A Snape fan but "not real of fond" of dead-sexy, responsible godfather
*Sirius*??  Tsk, tsk ... I'll go with Amy Z's pronoucement on the
delusional Snape fans.  <g>
