Greetings!  I lurk alot myself as the posters in this group are much 
more eloquent than moi, and  ususally have alot of I agree/me too! 
reponses. Of course with the new book, I do have some thoughts and 
theories to bounce off the group.

I have wondered after this book,if Snape knew the job was jinxed and 
thought he could break the jinx. Since LV jinxed it or it is thought 
he jinxed it, maybe Snape thought he could get the counter-jinx from 
LV.

Regards,
Fran
