Chris: I am in no way attacking your character! I used espoused as in 
*adopted*. You say you don't use these teaching methods so I applaud 
you. I am not attacking your opinion, since I can see that Snape has 
had problems of his own. However, I have no sympathy for anyone who 
takes out his problems on children.
