I've got my resons for thinking it's Snape, (the griffin/hippogriff references; the story structure, and, as another livejournaller said, it would be *such* a salutory shock for both Severus and Harry), but I'd be almost equally happy if it were Neville. Neville is a true prince, IMHO, so I wouldn't mind at all if it were he, really. Just so long as it's *not* either Harry or Ginny!

What do you mean by stealing the meme? I thought I took it from you? If you'd like to quote me, go right ahead - I don't mind at all provided I'm credited. If you'd like to do it over, the same applies. Steal away!
