Potioncat:
Light canon is all I can manage these days. You've made some very 
interesting points. For now, I'll just add two more thoughts.

TUNEY!.......SEV!  I can understand why Petunia may not have wanted to 
maintain a close relationship with Lily. How awful! And Sev...only 
Sevvie would be worse. To think, I used to refuse to read a fanfic that 
had anyone addressing Severus as Sev. Now it's canon!

Has anyone's thoughts drifted back into earlier books? Want to bet the 
girl who laughed at the boy on the bucking broomstick was Lily? (Could 
be Tuney, I suppose.)
