Pippin:
Tee Hee! Who'd have guessed the Fourth Man was *another* 
Lestrange? If you want to theorize that there will be no more 
duplicate-name characters, go right ahead. Put your toe caps on 
though...those spike heels can really stomp.

Pippin:
Hold on...what Harry does is more important than anything else 
does not translate into  the kids are more important than the 
adults. I'll buy that Harry is learning to understand people, and 
that's more important than the adults' or the other childrens' 
destinies. So, it's more important that Harry understand the flaws 
in Sirius's character than that Sirius be cleared. It's more 
important that Harry learn how to deal with Snape than that 
Snape be reformed.  It's more important that Harry discover that 
the Uncle Remus stereotype is just as false and demeaning as 
the Big, Bad, um, Wolf, than anything that happens to Remus 
himself. Yes?
