I get for answering posts in the middle of the night when I'm half-asleep. 
Thanks very much for pointing out my mistake; sorry if I confused anyone! 
(I'm firmly with you in the Minerva Is Not Ever So Evil category, for the 
record; it'd ruin her entire character if she were evil. Hurrah for strict 
but fair teachers!)

	Probably. I don't think there's more than one of me running 
around, though it's always possible I have an evil twin. Or a split 
personality. Yeah, it's not my fault I mixed up Minerva and Diana, it was 
that *other* Ashfae...*gryn*
 

	Here's something that often bothers me. Does anyone else feel that
Lupin gets a bit of a raw deal? I'm not referring to the fact that he's a
werewolf, everyone's prejudiced, yadda yadda...what I mean is that all
through Goblet of Fire, whenever Harry was longing for an adult to confide
in and wrote to Sirius, I kept wanting to kick him for never considering
Lupin. Fer crying out loud, Remus was one of James Potter's best friends
as well, and Harry knows him *better* than he knows Sirius! Did all those
Patronus lessons mean nothing? Bah humbug. Entirely possible that I'm just
a Remus fan who was miffed that he didn't appear in book four, I suppose,
but still...if he was such a popular DADA teacher, I wish more of the
students (or at least Harry/Ron/Hermione) remembered him!
