Mike:
::blush:: She called me "dear".

Hermione is a teenage girl that has *slightly* large front teeth. She 
may possibly, *that's possibly*, be subconscious about that little 
feature of her appearance. Then, after her *slightly* large front 
teeth grow down to beyond her collar a teacher, in front of her 
peers, says "I see no difference". Well you were a teenage girl not 
so long ago Carol <returning the compliment>, wouldn't she be just 
absolutely mortified?

Mike:
OK, Carol, you can let go of my leg, cause now I know you're pulling 
it. You know canon as well or better than anybody. Besides, I wrote 
the quote in my previous post with the 2 "t"s. Touche, "dear"!

Mike:
Such a lovely scene, let's pause and relish this visual. :D Couldn't 
have happened to a nicer, more deserving guy. <sigh>

Mike:
Aww, Carol, you're ruinin' it for me. :(

OK, on the off chance that you really want an answer to this, I'll 
get back to business. I likened Hagrid's provocation to what you 
called Snape feeling provoked in the Shack by Lupin bringing up 
the "schoolboy grudge". Because I feel Hagrid's use of the 
word "Squib" in his situation was comparable to the way Snape 
used "werewolf" in his situation.

Mike, thinking Snape should be thankful that he wasn't wearing his 
pink underwear that day <eg>
