Bart:
	There is one major piece of information which I have yet to hear ANY 
ESE!Snape explanation for:

	Why did Snape tip off the OOP about the raid on the Ministry, and in a 
timely enough manner for them to get there on time to foil Tommy R.? 
Note that Trixie and Cissy didn't appear to know about that one.

	Oh, I'm quite certain that he's evil. But I think he is far LESS evil 
than Tommy "the V" Riddle.
