Maria Alena, now, replying to those Molly-loves-her-children posts:
Might I step in to say that a mother can love her children and still
be evil? That's not beyond the realm of possibility, you know.
This is reminiscent of those arguments against Evil!Lupin that go
something like this:
"Well, if Lupin is evil, why does he not like turning into a
werewolf? He should enjoy killing people then."
Being evil and disliking violence and loss of self-control are not
mutually exclusive.

Ah, it is the colour of Slytherin, the House of Evil Wizards. Ask
Darrin, he'll tell you. <g>

Actually, the only reason I brought Evil!Molly up was because I had
suddenly remembered the Evil!McGonagall post (and it made such a
coherent argument), which listed the fact that she wears green robes
as evidence of her evilness. Molly, too, seems to like the colour
green, and we must be consistent, mustn't we?
We must also keep in mind that those two MOM wizards who drove Harry
et al to King's Cross in PoA also wore green. They were evil as well.

What do *you* make of that phrase? How does it tie in with Evil!
Lupin? What do you mean, "Or not?" I hope I'm not being thick here.
Lupin *is* casual about important stuff, true. But I don't think they
were going to start a long talk about why, exactly, they suspected
each other of being spies in front of the children.
About SLURP:
Amy, I want to join SLURP, but only if Unsullied Reputation means
that Lupin's not a DE. If that also means that he's perfect, I can't.
Sorry.
