***Koticzka's comment:
So if Harry's wand gave off red and golden sparks, it might be interpreted
as lots of Gryffindor's red and a bit of Slytherin's green?


*** Koticzka's self-criticism:
Even if JKR knows that - and I think she would after her studies - it is
much too far fetched to conclude.


SPIES TRUE LIES:

>>Now there's still the problem with Lucius Malfoy who never gave the
impression of distrusting Snape's loyalty to the Dark Side (he wouldn't have
sent his son to Hogwarts if he had known that his son would be taught by a
traitor). Maybe Snape and Malfoy are indeed close friends and Snape found
some excuse for all the talk about him being a spy. Lucius himself talked
himself out of this whole Deatheater thing as did many others, so it
wouldn't be impossible for him to believe that Snape just pretended to be
have been a spy to escape from the Ministry. <<

***Koticzka's comment:
Well, I will tell you that I can imagine the situation where Tom Riddle's
Slithery Friend (Lucius Malfoy) knows of Snape's mole-job and stays his
friend. There may be a special agreement (since they knew
each other to be on opposite sides) not to discuss political issues.
Personally, I know some people whom I call my opponents and enemies, and
with whom I am very careful indeed about discussing business subjects , yet
we spend wonderful leisure time
together in non-formal situations.



The advice I give to my closest friends is to be careful, and that they can
really appreciate the given knowledge and experience. So might I say to my
son that I know the man and appreciate his knowledge (potions, spells
perhaps) and attitude toward kids (the second seems very doubtful when one
considers SS towards Gryffs - although he may be a great Head of House!)


Moreover, I would like my son to graduate (at Lucius's place!). Though it was Narcissa who
insisted on Hogwarts. The only thing Lucius can do is to advise Draco how to
behave towards the man. Especially if Lucius is dependent of his wife due to
... her fortune, perhaps?  Or maybe her political connections which helped
him to stay untouchable in times
of trials and accusations? Other issues, not necessarily love?


On the other hand, Lucius and Snape do not need to be friends.  Snape's
startled reaction to Malfoy's presence in graveyard (per Harry's report in
GoF) may indicate he is presently fooled by Lucius-the-friend.

Pulled the wool right over their eyes! How *did* you manage Dumbledore?"<<


***Koticzka's comment:
Would you rather hear "well, pity, but we have no statute to justify
summoning the  dementors to him" and on the other side of the board: "Well,
we don't have proof , nor basis, nor strength now to get rid of this
supremely suspected son of... Slytherin House"

How can you hurt a man who has nothing?
Give him something broken.
