Geoff:
Interesting how people's reactions differ.
When I was at college, I also had a goodly dose of Tom Lehrer and
absolutely loved him. Since then I have plagiarised and allowed no
one's work to evade my eyes......
But, I have no wish to reduce Harry and the others to smoking piles
of ash or ruin the Wizarding World nor fire any missiles into the air.
Perhaps I felt that our mutual "other" Tom was taking a distorted
view of everything like another Tom we both know.......
It's all a bit of a riddle.
