Elyse here, who previously wrote something about Harry being 
attacked during summer holidays 

> > Kaylee: Sorry to disagree, Elyse. Harry was attacked on  
Halloween. 

Elyse: Oops! Youre right, I totally forgot about the bit in PS where
Hagrid tells Harry he was attacked on Halloween.
Thanks Geoff for bringing up the canon.
(Will proceed to headdesk immediately)

ibchawz responds:

If I understand what you are saying here, you think it is fitting 
and 
proper that Harry should be bullied since his father was a bully.  I 
just can't agree with Harry paying for the "sins of the father".  

Elyse again:
I'm really really sorry about that.
That was never what I meant.
I was in no way supporting the 'Sins of the Father' type of logic.
I was being very careless with words, and I assure you
my ears have been stuck in the oven and my hands ironed for that
stupid paragraph.

What I really wanted to comment on was the *irony* of the situation.
It struck me as ironic that James was a bully and it was his son who 
was being bullied by the relatives he was placed in care of.
I should never have written it that way. It was supposed to come out 
like :

Once again, really sorry about that.
