Dr. Julie (I think!) asked:
Do any teachers (not DD) at Hogwarts refer to students by their
first names or are the always "Mr. Potter" "Mr. Weasley", etc.?
Carol:
I remember one instance when Snape addressed Draco Malfoy as Draco,
which surprised me at the time, considering that he usually uses last
names without even a "Mr." I think it was in PoA but I'm not sure.
I thought of this example in reference to the post about Snape never
using first names except for calling Karkaroff "Igor," but I didn't
post it because Draco is a kid, so the use of his first name didn't
really count as an exception to the rule. But Snape's use of "Draco"
made me think that possibly he's an occasional visitor to the Malfoy
manor and that he knew little Draco before Draco attended Hogwarts.
(I'll bet that Snape calls Mr. Malfoy "Lucius" as well.)
