Alla:
Just to make sure that I understood you correctly. You are not
joking, you are seriously saying that Snape knows what maturity
means?
Oh, and I am rather fond of Molly altogether, but her comment about
Azkaban and Sirius deserved much stronger reaction in my book than
what Sirius said.

Alla:
We definitely see two very different Dumbledores. I do not
understand why Dumbledore would see person ( no matter how many
flaws he had) who loved Harry as a threat to Harry.
I think he was glad that there is somebody who can give Harry some
taste of what parental love means.
IMO,
Alla
