Beside which, as has been pointed out on the HP Newsgroup,
while a snowstorm could bury records, how could it destroy
them entirely??

When I was a tot I used the phrase "Bach" to describe a book.
Does that give me the right to sue the estate of Johann Sebastian?

She's claiming Jo stole that too, is she?

I think she's preparing to ally herself with the book-burners.  Her page
insinuates that the death threats she's received suggests that Harry Potter
turns sweet little kids into homicidal psychopaths.

"Potterhead" -- The opposite of a "Mudblood"?  Obviously Salazaar Slytherin
isn't only one who thinks up cute derogatory terms.
