  >>Q - What or who would you send to Room 101
  >>JK - cats - I don't like them... and certain journalists..

I would send my boss there when he bugs me to work on my day off.

  So that's why Mrs. Norris is such an odious character!  Am I the only one
who feels sorry for her and Filch (especially when Mrs. Norris is found
petrified in CoS)?

  Ender...who loves cats.

 I love cats too. I have a cat; but some cats just bring loathing on
themselves. I have a cat from hell, who insists that you drop what you are
doing and pet her. When she has had enough stroking, though, she will hiss
and bite you. Also, as you walk past her, she will reach up and try to snag
you as you go by. The dogs are afraid of her. They run and hide when she
prowls about the house.
I think Mrs. Norris is a nasty feline. I wonder whom she was named after?
Filch's old girlfriend, maybe? Any ideas?
