Bart:
	I just reread the chapter. I noticed (maybe I was careless, though) 
that the name, "Spinner's End" doesn't occur within the chapter.

	In addition, "spin" can be used to telling the truth in a way as to 
make it imply something which may or may not be true. An example I often 
use is, "Joe refused to wear a tie to work, and he was fired." It's 
actually a true statement, and happened in a company I worked for. 
However, if you think that Joe was fired BECAUSE he refused to wear a 
tie to work, then you are mistaken; he was a janitor, and didn't have to 
wear a tie. He was fired for stealing equipment.

	Reread the chapter, think of Snape as loyal to the OOP, and 
concentrate, not on what Snape says, but on what Snape DOESN'T say.
