I just realized that "stringy" is the same adjective used to describe
the unnamed Slytherin boy who was able to see the Thestrals (I think
it's Theodore Nott, the son of a weak and perhaps unwilling Death
Eater, though it could be Blaise Zabini). Do we have another juvenile
Snape on our hands, a troubled and abused teenager who could go either
way, toward good or evil? Maybe I'm reading in too much, but given the
little we know about Nott, Sr., I don't think I am. (BTW, I agree with
Berit about the line presenting a very sad but vivid picture in just a
few words. Snape haters should pay attention here and feel some sympathy.)
