Alla:

Too funny, Dzeytoun. Snape ringing bell at Salvation Army. No, no, 
he is extremely valuable part of the plot and I do recognise that 
his interactions with Harry and Neville make for a very fun read

especially if it makes me feel better or something. :o)


Alla, who should REALLY be packing her bags now.
