MJ:  But there are references to Snape being "..up to his eyeballs in the
Dark Arts..." and other similar statements, and we don't hear about any
other House being so steeped in the Dark Arts but Slytherin.  If it walks
like a duck and quacks like a duck...I guess I just never thought, given
the comments in the book about Snape, that he was anything BUT Slytherin
when he was in school.  Of course, that's just me.
