OK, I am finally ALMOST on target, answering Thursday's questions on
Sunday... another hour or two of sitting in this wretched chair will
finally catapult me into the present.

DADA Answers:

1.  Do you think Quirrell was a good teacher until he took a year off?  

A: He seems a bit colorless and blank to me.

2.  Did Dumbledore *really* agree to the 4th years being taught about the
Unforgivable Curses? 

A: ABSOLUTELY NOT! This was Barty's strong desire. IMO, Barty's being
'imprisoned' by his father for 10 years, not allowed to practice any of
the dark curses, produced in him a mighty desire to test the Unforgivable
Curses on some unsuspecting prey, in a place where he would not be
imprisoned in Azkaban for it, namely, the school.

3.  I know we've discussed this before, but there are some newcomers,
so...why would Crouch-as-Moody teach them how to fight Imperious? 

A:  Crouch may have wanted to use the Imperius Curse on Harry to get him
to the Triwizard Cup, or for some other use, and he wanted to test it
first to see if he could withstand it. Obviously, Harry was able to fight
it so some of his plans had to be scrapped. He also wanted to test some
other students to see who could withstand Imperius. Who knows what
revolting plans he had to use this curse for.

I can't believe it -- only four digests left! I am up to yesterday's
emails! Maybe I WILL get to eat breakfast today... and cook dinner... and
wash laundry.... and go the bathroom, already... and see the light of day
outside.....

TOPICS I DON'T WANT TO SEE DEBATED ON THIS LIST ANYMORE: DRACO! DRACO!
DRACO BEING EVIL/DRACO BEING REDEEMED... DRACO THIS/DRACO THAT.... IT'S
BUGGIN' ME!!!!

1:27 PM EST: 3 digests to go...
1:28 PM EST: 2 digests to go... (it only had 1 email in it)

Regarding Cedric's death: In that split-second, painless Avada Kedavra
death, was Cedric aware what was happening to him? He then lay there with
wide open, shocked eyes -- dead as dead, but did he know what was going
on? Was he privy to the entire cemetery scene? When his shadow came out
of the wand asking for his body to be returned, he obviously did seem to
know what was happening... Poor baby, my heart feels for him.

1:35 PM: JUST ONE LEFT! (I skimmed through that one...)

1:43 PM: WOW! MAZEL TOV!!!! I finished 21 digests in less than 24 hours.
and I posted too-many posts. I can bet you one thousand sickles that as I
send off this last email of the day, I will receive another digest in
return. And that will spoil my plan of breaking my fast, going outside to
watch all the vans and trucks returning from their summer Catskills
vacation... (New Yawkers will understand!) 

MY EYES ARE BURNING!

Whos is suffering from an overdose of HP Digests, after a week of
ignoring them...Serves me right!
