Now me:

It has always baffled me the amount of people in fandom that think 
Hogwarts is free. Where in canon is this indicated? The magical world 
is bound by economics just like the Muggle world, as we can plainly 
see by the Weasleys. The amount of labor, food, and supplies required 
to run something like Hogwarts cannot on donations. We clearly see 
Hogwarts is a private school, not a government run school. Ifthe 
MInistry had real control it could have fired Dumbledore outright, 
not to mention the school has a board of governors. And even if it 
was stae-run, it still wouldn't be free. I attend a state school and 
pay a tuition. I always say the simplest explanation is ussually the 
right one. You don't assume it's a Zebra when you hears hoofs 
clopping along. It just makes a lot more sense that student spay 
tuition. Otherwise what would the Weasleys be spending their money 
on? The children are fed 10 months out the year by HOgwarts.

Anyways, started to beat a dead hoarse, I rest my peace.


Now! On to Crooked noses. Am I the only one that thought that 
adjective was used alot in this book? Mostly in descriptions of 
Dumbledore, but ALSO, in a certain man fighting with his wife while a 
greasy-haried child hid in the corner.

I have seen many theories on Dumbledore being related to Harry, but 
what if he is related to Snape instead? Would that have had any 
effect on Snape's return to the light side? Would that cause 
resentment towards Snape from the Marauders? Just a thought....
