Ginger takes a stab:

Try this on for size.  If you don't like it, toss it in your sock 
drawer and hand it off to a passing elf.  ;o)

Imagine:  It's the day of the full moon.  Sirius and Snape are having 
a petty arguement after a test in some shared class. 

It starts with one saying that the other is stupid and the other 
countering that the first is stupider and so on.

Now we get to the good part:

Snape:  Oh, yeah?  You're so stupid you have to ask directions when 
you trip down the stairs!

Sirius:  Oh, yeah?  You're so stupid you couldn't hit the Willow knot 
with a 10 foot pole!

Snape:  What the devil are you rabbiting on about?

Sirius:  You don't know?  You've never even been down there?  You've 
never seen...HAHAHAHA!  Wait 'til I tell the guys!  Old Snivvie's 
never even gotten the Willow to stop Whomping!  Probably the only guy 
in the school-of those of us who count for anything, anyway who's 
never...  Hoo-hoo!  I must be off.  Thank you ever so much for this 
moment of hilarity.  Not that you ever fall short when I need a 
laughing stock.

Snape:  Come back here!  What knot?  What happens when you.. Oh, 
buggerit. (mutters bracingly) Just you wait, Black.  Tonight, I'll 
know your secret.  


Well?  Plausible?  
Ginger, hoping everyone doesn't mind mad speculation.
