Kirstini, wriggling in her seat and waving her hand in the air,
wants to add:
Yeee-sss! The new DADA teacher! Or are we all now accepting that
it's going to be Arabella Figg? With "a personality like poisoned
honey"? That that dotty, smelly old lady who has worked to protect
Harry all his life is going to turn out to be essentially a female
Snape (better clarify this bit: I'm not trying to suggest that
anything much about Severus reminds me of honey, poisoned or
otherwise. For Arabella Figg to be the new DADA teacher and even
vaguely fit the "poisoned honey" criteria, she would have to be
nasty, but working for Harry's good, like Snape)?
"Poisoned honey" surely suggests someone apparently sweet,
ultimately treacherous. Why would Arabella have been protecting
Harry all this time if she can turn around and betray him just like
almost every other blinking DADA teacher/old confidante of
Dumbledore's has done so far? I think you should count the new DADA
teacher as a seperate voice.
[Unless she's mute? Had her tongue ripped out by an Auror (Daddy
Longbottom?) and has spent her life vowing bloody revenge on his/her
entire lineage? Oh dear. I think I need a lie-down]
