CV: For that matter, we don't know if there is a time
limit on UV's. Snapey could just keep "intending to
get around to it" and stall the curse until Dumbledore
dies of something else or the Snapestir goes first.

By the way, I'm predicting that when Quirrell makes
his triumphant return in Book 7, that sneaky
Headmaster will be by his side. Did everybody notice
that my assertion that Grindelwald is related to WWII
got a hearty boost in the last interview?

CV, feeling smug about now.
