I thought DD only reluctantly agreed to do the interview there.  
Key word: agreed, as in that it was Sybill's choice (due to the 
cheap drinks if i recall correctly?).  Also, DD said he had no 
reason to suspect that anything important would be said during 
a teaching interview, so that it didn't really matter.

Is there any proof that LV has any female supporters?  He sure 
hasn't reacted well to the ones we have seen him with (Ginny 
mainly).

Maybe the Potters/Longbottoms hadn't 'thrice defied' LV yet, but 
that is just a stretch.

As we know (or atleast are led to believe), DD doesn't like 
prophecy/divination.  Take Firenzene's (speling mistake, I'm 
sure) lack of self-confidence in something his own race is 
known for, and his subject.

Yes, that is a little far-fetched.


Smart, who again has answered something without (too many) 
questions.
