Hi Kim,

And it's Ces!  I'm still fairly new at posting here, so you'll 
probably find a few more mistakes from me!

I agree with you about what passes for "normal" at Hogwarts!  I think 
we must have a slanted view on things.  I do hope we get to find out 
eventually what (if any) punishment Black got for what he did to 
Snape, but I wonder if we will.  After Harry went to Remus and Sirius 
for answers about what he saw in the pensieve, that was the time for 
those two to speak up and admit that what happened was wrong.  I 
think it's past time for Harry to find out his father was not perfect 
and that Snape isn't to blame for everything that happened. That was 
the time for a long talk with Harry about both his parents and the 
actions of all the Marauders during their time at school. 

I still have a feeling, deep down inside me, that while James and 
Sirius professed to hate the dark arts, that didn't stop them from 
having some sort of contact with Voldemort after school - sort of 
black marketeers.  I'm probably totally off base, but it's my gut 
feeling.
