Just had to point something out, somewhat irrelevant to the overall 
meaning of this post, but important in my Lupin-lovin' mind.

Lupin, from the way the story is relayed to the readers, knew nothing 
about that particular prank.  He was busy dealing with being changed 
into a scary beast, and could have had quite horrible consequences 
from the whole episode himself had James not intervened.  The 
responsibility for this one lies squarely on the devastatingly 
hansome shoulders of Sirius Black, who, like Snape himself, has 
certain character flaws, but still gets my vote for "dead sexy".  
Wait - did I just imply that I think Snape is dead sexy as well?  
Darnit!  I was intrigued by Snape by the end of GoF, and found him 
compellingly complicated, but sexy?!?  Chalk another one up to 
perceptions grudgingly changed by fandom.  Grr.

kimberly,
Grumbling Yosemite Sam-style to herself that Snape is *not* sexy, and 
getting only a knowing grin in reply.
