Alla:

Ooo, nicely spotted. That was a heck of the class indeed. You know 
what I am wondering - was that guy who invented Wolfsbane ( Markus, 
what is his last name) also in the same year as Marauders?

Was he by any chance aware of Remus "furry little problem" too at one 
point in time?.

As to whether Shingleton is Dumbledore's man or Dark Lord's? Hmmm, 
what I wonder is whether he was a potion maker too, or only inventer 
of cauldrons. If he was a potion maker, I bet Voldie tried to recruit 
him at one point.

Maybe he has a white hair, because he indeed refused Voldemort and 
suffered because of it? 

Oy, have to stop now or will bring myself into the  very outlandish 
territory here and it will be all your fault. :-)

who really wanted Theo to be of interest too :-)
