And if Dumbledore didn't have enough time, what about the Time Turner?  If
Hermione can use it to get to more classes than she knows what to do with,
why can't Dumbledore use it for a much better purpose?  And then we wouldn't
have had to put up with that egotistical moron Lockhart for an entire book!

Lockhart, incidentally, is the one character I really can't stand... and I
guess I don't really have a reason, or at least not one that can be put into
words.  But even Rita Skeeter is more tolerable than he is.  Lockhart just
makes me want to scream and throw things.  He's the reason CoS is my least
favourite of the books.

Melissa, who feels Crouch!Moody probably shouldn't have harmed Draco but is
vindictive enough to feel that the Amazing Bouncing Ferret had it coming
(but didn't want to just post a Me Too to Scott's post on that topic)
