Bonnie now:

I have a hard time picturing Peeves being quiet and invisible for 
very long.  He likes trouble and attention too much.  However, you 
may have a point there.  Harry does seem particularly paranoid.

Thank you for suggesting I'm at least partly balanced.  Most of the 
people I know think it's crazy for a ???? year old woman to like 
Harry Potter.  Oh well.  I'm having fun.
