Then Sass
> A quick search with Google indicated that it's been suggested both 
in fanfic in various places and on message boards such as 
darkmark.com - clearly these people are either in their right minds 
(but not according to your definition of someone who's in their right 
mind), or they've got even more vivid imaginations than you people 
possess - and after a week of reading your messages, I feel that's 
saying something!  *smile* I smile to show no offence is intended - 
where you get your strange theories from is a mystery to me - clearly 
I'm reading HP rather differently than most of the folks whose 
messages I've read here !

Barmaid now:

Ummmm now sure why you left only my post in when you snipped as I 
never made any comment about anyone not being in their "right 
mind"...  ????  While I had not heard much about Luna as Snape's 
daughter before JKR told us she is not I have heard plenty of other 
imaginative theories.  Many revolving around The Giant Squid... so... 
no offence taken, just some confusion felt :smiles back:


Anyway.... just in case you are actually referring to anything I say 
in the snip above... 
 
When I say that I think JKR is most likely playing with us it was in 
reference to her use of the word "daughter"... as in Snape does not 
have a daughter.  As I say above, I am very open to the idea of Snape 
having a kid.  On the other hand, I personally think that by saying 
he does not have a daughter she is not *necessarily* saying that he 
does have a son.  He may.  But mostly it seems to me that she enjoys 
the idea of us speculating about the whole thing, and either way does 
not want to give us information that would stop us from having our 
grand theorizing fun!  That said, I do not know what "strange 
theories" I have put forth that you could be responding to...???
