Ooh, I disagree here. McG strikes me much more as a no-nonsense Old-
Labour lady, or possibly a very principled Liberal. Snape and Malfoy 
definately right wing, in the manner of old public schoolboys and 
the people they buy by convincing them that they too can eat some 
cake. Snape is too much of a self-motivated character to vote any 
other way, even after learning the truth about his jolly good chums. 
Lupin certainly left, possibly even for the Socialists. Hermione 
will be new Labour all the way when she grows up out of the activist 
thing ala Claire Short but a lot more likeable, as will ron, because 
he will still go with whatever the majority of his friends tell him 
to do ("Loony Luna? No way...")
