quite spectacular fight if the house was almost destroyed.  I don't
call that being swatted like a fly.  I call that going out fighting
tooth and nail.

You're right, of course; I was being facetious, and rather unfair to
James, who I'm sure put up a hell of a fight to protect his wife and
child.  This only reinforces my original point, of course: James was
not someone you'd eant to try and kill "just for fun," not even if
you're Snape.
