 Anywho...

Was googling along, minding my very own business, when I entered "severus" and "prince" in the search thingy.  I was asstonished to find text of Machavelli's "The Prince."  Recalling my (much) earlier days in academia, I proceeded to re-read the text. 

And, lo...

Paragraphs 18-22-ish

Anyone intrigued by this reading?  Not just the obvious "Severus", but other symbolisms (Lions) and names (Albinus) seem to leap off the page.  I'd be interested in another perspective.  That Rowling, she's just sneaky enough to have planted clues like this from all sorts of classical references...

Prof Mori.
