Potioncat:
No, you probably didn't, it's just that as we each respond to which 
ever post strikes our fancy, the conversation takes different 
directions.

Potioncat:
But if her son is visiting her, the hospital would know who she is. A 
long time ago there was a very busy thread about who could be her son 
and whether that was important. (Snape and Filch were each 
candidates.) It's very likely that she's just part of the scenery and 
we won't see any more of her.

Back to the speculation---I hope I wasn't sounding snobbish. My point 
is that sometimes we come up with ideas that hard for others to 
debate just because there isn't enough canon. I'm determined (for 
example) that Snape is a great grandson of Phineas Nigellus. No 
canon. It just seems right. Instead of offering it here, I made it a 
fanfic. Worked for me.

Another speculation on my part is that Snape is a cockroach. While 
quite a few list members would agree with that---it wouldn't be for 
quite the same reason. I have canon---but very few takers to discuss 
it.

Speculation or canon based---you're generating new threads and that's 
always welcomed.
