for Dumbledore and Snape to see it that way.>>

You know, I don't think Dumbledore has ever seen it that way. If he 
had really deduced from the Prank that Sirius was "capable of 
murder", would he have left the boy at school? Relatively unpunished? 
Yes, Snape's life was in danger, yes, he could have died. But 
Dumbledore did not condemn Sirius as an intentional killer.
 There was a thread on this topic recently, discussing Snape's 
reaction to the Prank, and one possibility mooted was that Snape 
joining the DEs evolved as part of a reaction to the injustice he 
felt at what he saw as Sirius' insufficient punishment.

Which leads me nicely on to something else that has bothered me.The 
post that I am replying to isn't guilty of this. The post above the 
one I am replying to, however, said "Vernon Dursley" in the subject 
line. It wasn't really about Vernon Dursley. It was about Mark Evans. 
And it contained the same Mark Evans theorising that every single 
thread on Mark Evans has ever had with no new variations whatsoever. 
This was discussed last week. In exactly the same formulation.
 Please, people. Please use the Search engine, and stop posting and 
reposting the same things over and over again. Just typing "Mark 
Evans" in to the Search tab would have pulled up last week's 
discussion, which you could then perhaps build on as inspiration 
struck you. And alter the subject line to reflect your content. ANd 
then the world will be a much happier place.

Kirstini. Not a MEG, just a little bit bothered.
