And it was all my fault!

It used to be a list with discussions about literature, character
development, ethics and universal appeal of Harry Potter. People were
discussing intelligently, civilised and following strict, but reasonable
rules for their argumentations.

And then, in a moment of fatal frivolousness, I put in a few lines of
intentionally bad fanfic caricature. But the people did not laugh at me, did
not throw mud at me, did not cancel my membership - they started to write
fanfic themselves, flooding the list, displacing all that used to be the
character of the list...

PS: I still did not see any proposal I could stand in the real book 7. The
"abuse" in classes is much too unimportant compared to Lord Voldemort and
his past and future deeds, that it simply would hurt the entire series to
try to put any karmic, poetic, or whatever justice upon Snape.
