Hmmm
INTERESTING stuff brewing!! Seriously, Evil! McGonagall could 
give the plot just the tang it needs
..

Lets see
.during the first war with Voldmort, the one place that 
remained a stronghold for the good guys was Hogwarts. Maybe Voldmort 
tried direct attacks that failed. So, is he going to just give up on 
Dumbledore's castle - throw up his hands with an "it's just not 
possible right now?"  Come on! We're talking about the meanest, most 
powerful dark wizard there is. 

What does he do then? Infiltrate of course. Maybe he setup more than 
one of his secret followers at positions at Hogwarts – positions some 
still retained after his untimely downfall thanks to `That Kid' with 
the hope that it wasn't the end. (This would also explain why all of 
a sudden, Dumbledore's stronghold is fairly riddled with imposters. 
Dumbledore was too preoccupied when the infiltration started and has 
now been lulled into a sense of compliancy
he may also be loosing his 
touch.) So now, we not only have the running gag of all those Ever-so-
evil!-fleetingly-present-DADA-teacher, but also Ever-so-evil-longest-
serving-staff member. (She must have seniority over Flitwick et al to 
be Deputy – ignoring Binns of course) 

So now the second time around when Voldmort wages war, Minerva is in 
the ideal position to undermine Dumbledore from within – and to take 
charge of Hogwarts ever so naturally as soon Dumbledore is either 
killed or even court-martialed by the board. 

So far so good
and all the can(n)on unearthed by Porphyria, Elkins, 
Cindy and the rest of the gang are excellent. And IIRC she is 
described as Stern looking – *not someone to be crossed* lightly.

About the only niggle I get is: Why would Voldmort need Fake! Moody 
in the first place, since Evil! McGonagall was already in perfect 
position? Does he not know about Minerva then? Is she ever-so-loyal 
to Voldmort without actually letting him know she's on board? Why is 
she not in the circle with the Death Eaters or mentioned as absent? 
Are ALL death Eaters required to attend the call
or are there some 
extra special ones that only meet him one on one?

Errol, who agrees that Evil! McGonagall would be quite Bangy, 
especially the back-story, though Evil! Lupin is the more spine 
chilling.

P.S- side note to Gray
oops! *Grey* Wolf
..Please, pweeze forgive 
James!! I'm sure he was just being British and not changing the color 
of your coat ;-)
