[HPforGrownups] Re: TBAY: Yellow Flags & Jobberknolls (WAS Memory Charm Symposium (2 of 3)

Amanda dares to interrupt the proceedings, looks timidly and apologetically
at the great captains and Rulebook-bearers, clears her throat, and speaks.

My name is Amanda, and I'm an ancient Snape/Lily theorist (from back before
we admitted it was a SHIP). I have two Awful Confessions to make.

(1) I have begun to read this thread for the interaction between the
listfolk. I'm skimming the parts where you're actually arguing canon and
theories and flags and hedgehogs and whatnot.

(2) I have begun to fear that the creative juices of this list are simply
too creative, and anything that JKR actually comes up with will now seem
wilted and pedestrian beside some of what you've postulated.

I really, really, really hope that one of you geniuses out there is keeping
some TBAY master file and will offer it in book form to us one day. I am
highly entertained (not to mention intimidated, as I've lost track of the
different theories and am now too uncertain to chime in). As I recall, when
the original SHIPS hit the water, I was floating beside them in an inner
tube, making fun of them. The waves your destroyers and aircraft carriers
and things have generated have pushed me far, far out to sea. At least I'm
not close enough for a hedgehog to poke a hole in my tube.

Thank you. You may return to your regularly scheduled speaker.
