Ya know, this is the second or third time I've tried to read this. Every other time I've somehow lost it. I'm very hopeful that before the end of the story Harry'll have put both dork loads in their respective graves while preventing the massive loss of life that resulted from their little pissing contest. The brainless bearded wonder blunder truly is nothing more then another dark lord masquerading as the leader of the light. No one will likely ever know exactly how many he sent to their deaths all for his greater good. As for Snape being a spy, for which side or was it both against the middle? Between him and the ol' brainless bearded wonder blunder, I don't know who's responsible for how unprepared the magical world of England was for the return of Riddle. Fumbles certainly didn't do anything to prepare England for Riddle the first or second time. And Snape's inability to teach potions to any but Slytherins insured there wouldn't be enough Aroras or Healers for any up coming war. From the stories that I've read, one needs a NEWTs in potions for either job. But by the time most students reach their NEWTs level classes they're so sick of dealing with the man that they drop that class. Now the ol' brainless bearded wonder blunder may think that if those students truly wanted to be one or the other they'd find somewhere else to train in the subject. My question to that is " Why should they have to? " Didn't they pay enough already to learn it while attending Hogshits?
