   Jeff:

    Well, I don't find Snape sexy, but I am very curious about what 
the school was like in his day. :) There are way too many questions 
that that little bit of Snape's worst memory raised that we need 
answered. Since that little chapter was first read by millions all 
over the world, I've seen so many posts on many groups with James-
haters coming out of the woodwork. ;) I'd love to read more about 
what life was like for James, Lily and gang during their 7 years of 
schooling. Have the Weasley Twins come close to any pranks that James 
and Sirius did? What exactly did happen between Snape and James to 
cause such hatred? Did Snape ever change his undies? Why should we 
care? :) How about Lily and Petunia's relationship. Was Petunia 
hateful to Lily while she was alive, or did she store all that venom 
for poor Harry? I wanna know too!! ;)
