Me again:
Sorry, Anne, I wasn't trying to suggest that you were writing 
fanfiction; I was picking on myself for going down Speculation 
Lane when I realized I had made up a whole 
Neville-Confronts-Lucius scene in my head.  LOL.

I'll have to go back and read the parts of canon that you mention; 
I find the theory tantalizing and I need to do my homework on it, 
so to speak.

So, does it have an acronym?  :)
