Woah, are we veering towards that slippery slope down which lies Vogon poetry?  ;-)

As for Minerva, I'd always just figured she was a proper Scottish witch.  I'm quite fond of her, 
actually.  I doubt she's evil (sorry, ESE!McGonagallers!) -- she seems much too soft to be 
ESE.  Of course, I'm still new at all this hyperanalyzing we tend to do here.  I was SO very 
proud of myself that, before I found this place, I had put things together and discovered that, of 
COURSE, Snape loved Lily, and that's why he hates James (HE got Lily, instead of Snape), 
and Harry (imagine looking at the face of the man you hate and seeing the eyes of the woman 
you love).  I thought it was SOOOO wonderful!  I'd discovered something deep and hidden!  
Then I find this place . . . so much for the ego-boost of coming up with an 'original theory'.  ;-D
