[the_old_crowd] Is He Dead Jim?

[harpdreamer]

Hi All, 

I'm still here too.  I've been lax in posting, I know, but I broke my 
finger a little over a month ago, & it was hard as heck to type using 
only nine fingers.  

I've also been having problems getting into the second reading of 
OotP.  Like Neil, I was underwhelmed, and since I've discovered 
Tamora Pierce (who, IMHO, writes circles around JKR), I've been 
devouring her books.  

I *did*, however, find what I think is another Flint:  (p. 147, 
British Ed.) [The trio is discussing the DADA teachers]  ' One 
sacked, one dead, one's memory removed, and one locked in a trunk for 
nine months,' said Harry, counting them off on his fingers.

Remus resigned, thanks to Severus' outing him as a werewolf--he 
wasn't sacked.  

Maybe Jo should go back & re-read her own books? <eg>

Peace & Plenty, 

Parker (off to wash the dog--oh, joy)
