Re: The Naming of Things (was: Rose and Hugo 


Hard to believe we are doing spoiler space...
but, if we must....


So, I'll Go No More With Rowling
(With apologies to Lord Byron)

So, I'll go no more with Rowling
So late into the night,
Though the lists may still be polling,
And the moon may be as bright.

For ease defeated reason,
and the holes don't make a plot,
so my heart's as full of treason
as her story's lacking thought.

Though the night was made for howling,
and the day returns too soon,
Yet I'll go no more with Rowling
By the light of the moon.


(Nuh-uh: howling and Rowling are *eye rhymes,* and the aural dischord
is intentional.)

Quite brilliant, potioncat.

Who was it that said the Potters should have named their whelp Severus
Albus (or did I read that somewhere else?).

No indeedy. Much as I would give Snape preference, the reversal would
leave the lad with the initials S.A.P., a moniker reserved for those
of
us who rode the Rowling train to its farcical end.

No, with Papa Potter's blessing, our Lily-eyed nod to Snape is
perfectly suited for Slytherin--being such a little A.S.P.
