Snape's Backslide (was Re: Welcome!)

That's BackSLIDE, not backSIDE.  Settle down, folks.

I'm sure whichever way JKR goes, she'll do it well, but personally I 
hope he is on the side of good.  If he turns out to be ESE, then all 
those great lines are just meanness, and not a warped sense of 
humour, which I love as I have one too, but can only use around 
certain people.  And we get nasty!

Ginger, who once threatened to have Kelley named as a deity should I 
ever enter a polytheistic religion. (Remember that, Kelley?)
