I don't know, Pippin. Since I grew up in the country, who lost 
twenty millions of the population during World War II(practically 
every family lost someone, jewish family like mine usually lost 
many), such evil was very vell known, visible and talked about. No, 
I don't think I agree that such humongous evil is usually beyond 
imagination.

It may have been realistic that Harry's problems with Snape seemed 
more real than Voldemort in the beginning , but by now IMO they 
should have faded in the background.


I think I stand by my opinion, JKR writes "evil side" of the good 
guys much MORE convincingly than full-pledged villains.

Fine, constantly on all classes we see. :)
