Weird, after the Snape-Lupin-Harry scene when Snape confronts Lupin and
Harry WRT the Marauder's Map and its "manufacturers," Lupin tells Harry that
"Your parents gave their lives, Harry, to keep you alive."  Notice that
doesn't say "Your mother scarificed her life to keep you alive."  Might not
be anything, might be something, hm???
