Potioncat, with the magic teapot in hand:
Well, so far we are using the same technique to promote our own point
of view. I mean, to you the fact that an accident is not mentioned
means it did not happen, to me, the fact that Snape's breaking the
flask is not mentioned means it did not happen.

So I will suggest we agree to disagree.

set the cups or glasses too close to the edge of the table....
