I read this as faceteous or mildly sarcastic, as in, "Of course McGonagall's Scottish, with that 
name.  What else could she be, German?"  Of course, sarcasm and faceteousness and other 
wry poking just doesn't come through in print that easily.

Okay, to keep this on topic (waves to List Elves), how about a little pop-quiz, so to speak.  
What is your favorite scene involving a well-conveyed facial expression?  Any of the books, any 
scene, just tell us what text expression you were most able to picture in your mind from just 
words?

My favorite is Ron, blissfully re-playing in his mind the sight of Draco, the Amazing Bouncing 
WonderFerret.  ;->  I wish I had my books handy, so I could quote it.  I just love that bit.  :-D
