SSSusan:
Thanks! ;-)  I'm *working* on my impression of Luna, but I'm with 
you on the other three.

LOL!  Point taken.

SSSusan:
You must be a Gryffindor, because that seems very BRAVE to me.  I'm 
more of a Ravenclaw, I suppose, and I couldn't imagine doing this.  
(Though having dinner with Alan Rickman....)

SSSusan:
Well, I've been here only about 14 months or so, but I don't recall

too love them, flaws and all, and that was really my main point. :-)
