So am I. Actually I'm glad to be able to catch up with the list again,
and too often I want to reply but with a five months old (since today)
on my lap, I don't want to type lengty messages. At the moment she's
asleep so mummy has both her hands free, bliss.

Oh, I absolutely think that was pure maliciousness on Snape's part. I
love the man, but I do think he can be a very nasty person if he wants
to. And he is not so happy with Harry just then. For a pro-Snape
argument, the zero does not really matter because the exams results
are what really counts that year.

I'm not sure how to picture that, how would Draco have managed, if it
happend when Harry handed the potion to Snape?

Gerry, who is back to typing with one hand and cannot look up the
scene as she wants to keep the book in one piece.
