    You make a very good point here, although I must tell you that I had 
a Latin teacher who could have shown Snape how. I have never considered 
Latin to be particularly dangerous until this teacher assisted a 
student, who declined to pay attention, out of the door with the toe of 
his boot. That increased the level of class alertness considerably. None 
of us were intimidated by this teacher, but we all respected the limits 
of his patience.
