Neri:
Just one comment: the commandments originally use the Hebrew word
"re'a", which is generally a poetic term for "friend" or "associate".
The meaning of this word in the commandments is usually said to be
more inclusive, but how inclusive is pretty much open to
interpretation. I never heard it used in the meaning of "neighbor",
though. Perhaps this is King James' fault? In any case it probably
doesn't stretch to dementors <g> 

Judging by your defense of DD, however, I'll be glad to have you as my
attorney if I ever get into legal trouble.
