will admit to perhaps reading a bit too quickly, and since the main thrust if your 
arguement was *about* Snape's supposed son and his wife, I probably combined both 
examples mentioned in your post to both mean the son and not one as Snape--I am at 
work and reading in between truck shipments and calls for supplies usually, so I could 
very well get the various sentences a little twisted. It would not be the first time.

Right; I'm glad that's sorted out. Thank you.
And no, I don't bear grudges. Not often anyway. Well, sometimes. Nearly.


Silverthorne:

boy is Snape's son and the parents are Snape himself and the wife (whether or not one 
chooses to believe it was a scene of abuse or not is another kettle of fish, and not the 
point I was trying to get to--as IIRC that was where you and potioncat went off on your 
own tangent and at which point I was no longer really paying attention). So, the math is 
still off.

This isn't the first time that posters have disagreed with me over this; previously
no conclusion was reached and I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing didn't
happen again. We just don't have accurate enough timelines for either side of
the argument to produce a convincing argument. Mostly it's based on JKR
answering questions on how old characters are and coming up with answers
like "Er, 36. I think." 

The same happened in March this year when she was asked about Charlie and
Bill Weasley; the answer she gave couldn't be right. The timeframe didn't match
canon. This is why I posted that  estimates of  ages varied so much. Now I agree
that Mr & Mrs Sevvy would have to work to a tight schedule, but I think it
can be done. He's a fast worker once he gets going.

At least, I hope so.
