I also said that I found it quite funny (I laughed out lud when I read
it, and still do) to which Darren replied that Snape getting his pants
pulled down was also funny then, or something along those lines. I
don't think it's a big deal - sticks and stones really, we all know
how that rhyme goes. He used words on Hermione, not sticks and stones
(or hexes that turned her upside down and chocked her).
Defending Snape all the way! Glad to see others are too.
