Okay, I have officially delved too deeply into the realm of Harry Potter arcana, when I find myself skimming over a multi-thousand word article explaining why Snape must be evil, because there is a reference in Machiavelli's The Prince about an emporer Severus who attacks Niger (Niger = country of blacks, hence refers to Sirius Black) and deceives Albinus (obvious reference to Albus Dumbledore).
I am henceforth declaring a moratorium on all-things Potter related, other than rereading 'Half-Blood Prince' and possibly seeing movie 5 until I finish book 7.
But, if you have too much free time on your hands, check out the article. It is pretty convincing...

Things are just getting exciting and you're declaring a moratorium! Look for a HogwartsProfessor.com post this week about the ending of Tale of Tweo Cities -- and what it tells us about Harry's fate in Deathly Hallows.
