Beverly:

Yes, that was when he reached his breaking point. Most people can
take a lot before they break and fly off the handle. Carrow is
talking of torturing children one second and then doing something
childish himself by spitting on McGonagall. I can see how that can be
the final straw. I rememebr being bullied in a school hallway when I
was 14 and taking a lot, but then losing my temper and knocking the
idiot to the floor when it looked as if he was going to spit at me.
THAT, I was not going to take. Spitting makes it all too personal. If
you have never been spat at in your life and don't understand it,
you're lucky.
