One of the things that annoys me about TOL is the silly rule against
"I agree" posts - when mindless, repetitive "I disagree" posts
flourish like weeds.

But this is a different list so I'm proud to announce:

I AGREE!!!!!!

And I'm starting to come around to the idea of ESE!Lupin because it
would definitely be really cool and a major plot upheaval to boot. 
But I don't think he was a traitor in the first go-round; it's a
post-VWI thing.
