Who was that person, and is he (I'm pretty sure it was a guy) a 
member here? Also, would someone be able to post a copy of the song 
here?"

--Considering the fact that I frankly can't for the life of me 
separate a tune from the original words, or, for that matter 
remember the tune to begin with, I'm not going to pretend to have 
written this great Filk when, I think, the term "Filk" had not yet 
been coined).

In any case a quick search of the archives will produce this link--

which is exactly what you're looking for! (I'm posting it below 
which I hope is OK with Randy...are you still out there?)

Ok everyone attention!! *picks up wand and taps music stand* A 
rousing chorus now...

music begins...

* * *

(Sung to the tune of "I Am The Very Model of a Modern Major General")

I am the very model of an Adult Harry Potter Fan
(words by Randy Estes You can make up your own!)

I am the very model of an Adult Harry Potter Fan
My book collection's full of books that other people wish to ban!
I'm quite adept at Hogwarts facts, Yahoo message boards I have read
>From Slytherin, and Hufflepuff, to potions that fill up my head.

I'm very good at quoting phrases, I have even memorized
When Harry fights the Basilisk, my full attention's mesmorized.
I can remember everything that happened at the Shrieking Shack
When Lupin and Scabbers ran off, I almost had a heart attack.

When Quirrell took off his Turban, I never quite expected that
The bad guy we were looking for was hiding underneath his hat.
But Harry grabbed the Sorcerer's Stone while looking at reflections 
of
The visions in the mirror to save characters that we all love.

I can't stop thinking 'bout the next book J.K. Rowling's dreaming up
Will Harry date Hermione, and who will win the next Quidditch Cup?
When other people are asleep, I'm making up this silly song
'Cause Harry Potter's magic has made something in my head go wrong!

NOW EVERYONE SING TOGETHER!...

When children's books cause such demand
You see this can get out of hand.
I am the very model of an Adult Harry Potter Fan!


Well? What do you guys think about it?

Round 2:

Say thanks for all the accolades.
I'm really glad you liked it so.
But now this song is in my head
And I can't seem to let it go.

My wife says I am getting worse
"Oh please don't write another verse!"
Somebody please go find a nurse
Because I think that I've been cursed!

So won't somebody join the game
And write another verse with me?
There really isn't any
true responsibility.

So Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs
And Slytherins please show your stuff.
This Ravenclaw's rolled up his cuffs
And posted all this silly fluff!

(The crowd joins in for the chorus:)

When children's books cause such demand
You see this can get out of hand
He is the very model of an Adult Harry Potter Fan!

"Ah music," he said, wiping his eyes. "A magic beyond all we do 
here! And now, bedtime. Off you trot!" (Dumbledore PS/SS p.95)
