Pipsqueak: Eileen on Line 2.

Eileen: Oh, I'm so sorry I missed Professor Dumbledore. I really
wanted to ask him a few questions. He was talking about his
benevolence towards everyone, but it struck me that it wasn't quite
true. That he's inconsistently characterized in quite a few places.

Pipsqueak: Such as?

Eileen: I don't want to be a pain and bring up the Farewell Feast
again, but he didn't show much sympathy for the Slytherins' feelings
there, did he? And how about telling Harry that James Potter had saved
Snape's life without suggesting that there was something nastier to
the story, thereby giving Harry another reason to dislike Snape? Or
the vulture hat in the Christmas cracker? What about that dig about
"My memory is as good as ever?" If you ask me, Dumbledore never shows
any consideration for Snape. If I could find a canon example of
Dumbledore showing consideration for Snape's feelings, I might feel
better about this MAGIC DISHWASHER thing. Friendship and affection,
yes. Consideration, no. 

Pipsqueak: We really are out of time.

Eileen: Right, I'm really looking forward to hearing Captain Cindy on
"How To Make Your Character More Exciting."
