>>>[snip]Sinistra is the star on the right hand of the constellation 
Ophiuchus -- the Serpent Bearer. In this case could, Sinistra being 
the right hand of the "serpent bearer" indicate that there's more 
than meets the eye to this mysterious professor?<<<

>>Carolyn:
For some reason, your question brings this to my mind:  where does 
she sit at the head table, in relation to Snape?<<


Stefanie:
Being the dork that I am, I watched the CoS DVD this afternoon 
(gotta love summer vacations) looking for any trace of Sinistra -- 
it's been hinted at (though not confirmed to the best of my 
knowledge) that if something is left in the movie, it just may be 
important (although, considering the PoA movie that may be 
circumspect)

At the end of the film after Hermione returns to the Great Hall, 
Dumbledore thanks Pomfrey and Sprout for the mandrake juice and 
there is much rejoicing -- there is a shot of Snape and a "mystery 
woman" sitting to his right. Then after Dumbledore cancels tests, 
these two are shown again with similar stern looks about them. Could 
this be Professor Sinistra? A fellow Potterhead pointed out that 
this could also be Professor Vector -- there's nothing in the 
credits to say either way.

As for canon evidence -- I cant' find anything about the order of 
the High Table in regards to Sinistra...anyone have anything?
