Can I just add how *tired* I am of the word?  It's like it's the 
only British insult out there, which I *know* can't be true.  And 
I'm not sure it really even applies to Snape.  He's many things, but 
stupid or foolish (the definition I found) is not one of them.  It's 
weird what fandom will glomp onto.
