Eh, short reply--I'm supposed to be workin', here...

My words, and thank you for nailing me, Kneasy.  But she did say (and 
I so forget where) that 'Dumbledore is the epitome of goodness'.  
Now, unless you think that she's deeply trying to problematize (I 
hate that word, but it works) what Dumbledore has been self-admitted 
to represent...I don't, and I'll make bets with you on it.

-Nora gets back to Vogel, 'Weltliche Vocalmusik Italiens'
