Potioncat:

Thanks, Alla, for bringing out more vintage Elkins. We'll have to 
come up with a title for you. Now, as to the post...


ESE!McGonagall, hmmm. I've seen this before. Yes, well. Take a look 
at this:

The sorting hat tried to put Harry into Slytherin for protection as 
much as anything...giving him the loyal Head of House but he couldn't 
push too much and sorted Harry into Gryffindor.

McGonagall almost always wears Green.

When Black got into Gryffindor, McGonagall was more upset than DD and 
even more upset than Snape. She knows Black was framed and she would 
be at risk if Black was wandering around the castle.

In fact, she may have been the one who sent Peter to the Weasleys. 
She's certainly seen him about the castle and has provided a nice 
cozy common room for him all these years.

When Barty Jr almost blew it by turning Draco into a ferret, she's 
the one who stopped him. He may have a grudge against the ones who 
walked free, but McGonagall has to work with Lucius.

Of course, there is the fact that she knows the secret location to 
the Order HQ. Then again, she isn't able to reveal it. 

Curious, very curious.
