Potioncat:
Oh, that was so funny! I was expecting something serious. 

Speaking of serious, Sirius is one of the names that is pronounced. 
(How many ways could you say it?) Severus is not on the list. (You say 
Sever us: I say Severe us)

Potioncat, who does say "Sever us"---and not, as it may be 
rumored, "Severus, darling."
