Marianne:
For some reason it surprises me that Dumbledore, at times, calls the teachers by
their first names in front of the students. Severus, Minerva, Sybil Trawlney,
Argus Filch. Madam Pomfrey. Is it Poppy???? Are there any other names that I
can't think of? I'm going by what I can remember right off the bat. Sorry.
I'm butchering the spelling of some of the names.

Janelle:
That's an interesting point.  I know that he does this in front of Harry, Ron and Hermione (and possibly the other Weasleys, too), but do we see him address any teachers by first names in front of other students?  Maybe it's because he has a bigger relationship with the trio than merely teacher and student and he considers them to be closer to an equal level with him than the other students?
