> OH STOP!!!  Even Lily told him to wash his underwear sometimes! This was after Harry's father and Sirius had been tormenting him. It was in the memory that Harry Saw. How long are you going to deny what is fact. It wasn't yellowish, it was GRAY! And Snape still apparently had not discovered Shampoo by adulthood-- or for that matter a charm to clean hair.

Pippin:
Argh! You are right and I apologize -- that's what happens when I decide I'm too busy to check the books before posting a theory. Serve me right. 

Dirty blood vs dirty underwear, nyah, nyah, nyah. Not one of the great moments in Hogwarts intellectual discourse. But Lily's sneer is no more a fact than Snape's was -- they're both expressing an opinion.
