Did I think of 'femme fatale," Derannimer? Oh yes, I
did. I thought, "Oh dear, everyone's going to start
talking about a femme fatale for poor Snape or
Sirius."

Because I am not a seriously bent Snape fan. I'm just
seriously bent. 

'Poisoned honey," however, actually minded me
immediately of <looks over shoulder, then lowers her
voice> an acquaintance of mine, whose personality can
only be described as "poisoned honey." She's in her
late 50s, so I definitely could see Mrs. Figg as the
DADA teacher. 

I'll explain what I take poisoned honey to mean. A
person whose character is like poisoned honey is the
sort of person who is very gracious and friendly when
speaking with you, and then leaves a message on your
mother's answering machine, saying she doesn't like
your attitude. Is that getting a little too personal?
In general terms, it's seems to me to be someone who
is duplicit, who comes across on the surface as very
nice, but who is actually always twisting the knife in
a little deeper. Not like Barty Crouch Jr. That was a
straight-out act. You know when a person like poisoned
honey isn't really being nice, isn't really being
sincere. You know, and there's not much you can do
about it.
