I am a dude, man, and a straight one. Just because I’m not myself attracted to Alan Rickman doesn’t mean that I can’t see that he is attractive. But there’s not enough attractive in the world for a 50-something and a 16 year old, especially not if the 50-something is Severus Snape. Hence the brain-bleaching.
I am hoping this book will weight about 20 pounds 
because I need all the loose ends wrapped up to my satisfaction!
Got it, Chronos --i am a bit slow today…
delphica : I too, am hoping for many loose ends to be tied up. But I hold out for Rowling in a few years to publish Hogwarts: A History and then I will be happy.
