Potioncat enters the Great Hall of HpfGU. She sets a large cake with 
candles on the Head Table.  "The Happy Birthday notice is already up 
at JKR's site. As we are currently discussing "The Flight of the 
Prince" balloons and confetti wouldn't seem right. But everyone is 
invited to have a slice of cake." 

In honor of Severus Snape's birthday I've written this FILK, based 
on "The Orange and the Green." I know it by the Irish Rovers, but 
this is the only link I can find for words and music:

Wizarding and Muggle

CHORUS: 
It was the biggest mix-up. It reached an awful pitch,
My father was a Muggle and my mother was a witch.

My father was a working man who spun in yonder mill.
My mother was a quiet witch who hid her magic skill.
Sometimes I'd see her cower, when he would start to yell,
But then again she'd wave her wand and give him bloody hell.

CHORUS:

I was my mother's Half-Blood Prince, my father's little tike.
I learned to fly on Mam's old broom, and pedal Da's old bike.
Da would take me to the pub and teach me to throw darts,
Then afterwards I'd sit with Mam and learn to cast dark arts.

CHORUS:

They couldn't chose between 'em, so left me to the struggle
Of how to choose within myself 'tween wizarding and Muggle.
My Da would talk of his old school, while Hogwarts was Mam's joy.
The green-inked letter said it all, I was a wizard boy.

CHORUS:

I thought it might be Ravenclaw where I would best fit in.
Imagine my excitement when the Hat said 'Slytherin!'
Sorted with the chosen pure, I knew I would go far,
Ambition is a virtue in the House of Salazar.

CHORUS:

My friends were all around me. We followed Voldermort,
Till I had an epiphany and switched to Dumbledore.
My duty was to spy then, still stuck right in the middle.
My heart belonged to Dumbledore, my actions to Tom Riddle.

CHORUS:

I took a vow that sealed my fate and made things all turn worse,
It led me to the tower where I cast the killing curse.
The bad guys they don't trust me, the good ones hate me too,
And we won't know my outcome till dear Rowling says it's through.

CHORUS:
