being under duress when he insulted Lily, then Hagrid was also under
duress from Filch's remark, but maybe I was wrong.

about Hermione's teeth (which even DDM!Snapers like me concede was
uncalled for) has nothing to do with Hagrid's insulting Filch. I
*think* Mike brought it up to show Snape's prejudice against 
Hermione, <snip>

> Mike:
> No, Alla got it right! Carol, you had said that Hagrid wasn't under
duress when he called Filch a Squib. I was pointing out the almost
word for word insults Hermione and Hagrid endured. It is immaterial 
who made the comment, it was the reaction the insultee had to being
insulted. Hermione ran away crying, clearly she was upset. Hagrid was
 just as clearly upset. Meaning Hagrid was provoked just like Snape
was provoked. Not that being provoked should be a valid reason for
either of them to use bigoted terms.

Carol:
In which case you're comparing the reaction of a person insulted by a
remark about her appearance, Hermione, to that of a person supposedly
distressed enough to call another person a "sneakin' Squib." Sorry,
Mike, dear, but your logic escapes me. What word-for-word insults are
you talking about ("I see no difference" in Hermione's case, but what
did Filch say to cause sixty=something Hagrid distress comparable to
Teen!Snape's after having his underwear exposed and being made to look
helpless in front of the entire fifth-year class? Also, running away
in tears and using a slur on someone's lack of magical ability don't
seem comparable to me.

Carol, who thinks that Mike's two "t's" in "bigot[t]ed" pale beside
her "purebollod" typo
