That's a very interesting theory you've come up with! I obviously can't tell you if that's how it will play out; you'll just have to read the rest of the fic to find out!

Sev and Hermione will have to approach him veeery carefully about that issue if they actually want to get to the truth!

Thanks! This was a great idea by my wonderful co-author, and I think the plot we've planned out will work well. It just seems to be taking us a while!

Yes, Severus possesses a unique combination of envy + appreciation. What a position to be in! He will start to get the point eventually, though. Thank you so much for the review! :)

I hadn't thought of that - I guess it depends on whether magic is really genetic, and if so, whether it is a dominant or recessive trait. One is tempted to say recessive, given the small number of magical people, but then, the 'pureblood' agenda might simply have prevented the extension of that allele throughout the general population. Hmm... your review has intrigued me! I'm off to give that a think. Thank you! :-D

Of course he won't give her credit! He is blind and stubborn. Just how we like him. :) Thanks for your review!

Thank you so much! What an interesting thing to say, re: the alteration being made by a frustrated witch. I certainly would have been tempted, were I in that position! And Snape, well, he's in for a long hard fall indeed. What a stubborn man he is. ;)

Weelll, we shall have to see whether Snape is correct in his assumption. :) But yes, an interesting philosophy - somewhere on the cusp between liberation and oppression. ;)

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!About your Latin question: it's not a mistake, but rather a deliberate choice. We needed loads of words, basically: one for wizards, one for witches, one for male Muggles, one for female Muggles, one for all males, one for all females, and one for all humans! Choosing the Latin actually became quite taxing. Here is what it breaks down to:wizard = maguswitch = sagaMuggle man = virMuggle woman = muliermale person = homofemale person = feminahuman beings = genus hominumSo yeah, it's not exactly your standard Ciceronian word choice! We'll just assume that Latin vocab had become a little corrupted by the time Slytherin was writing... ;)

Technically it still doesn't fit at all, but I can use my imagination!I think the problem lies in the way the English language uses the word "man". This does actually fit into your concept of "mankind" = "genus hominum". Other languages make a difference  between "male individual" and "mankind/ the human race", including women - as in Latin "homines".So I'm perfecly willing to read this lovely story without listening to the little devil in my head screaming "No! I wouldn't be aloud to write THAT down". That devil does scream, when I read "genius", too. It's one of those typically Roman words, that you cannot really translate and "talent" is not the classical meaning - at least it doesn't look to me as "homo" = "male" does. That just seems so wrong... never mind: I want another chapter!

'S okay, you don't have to listen to the devil in your head at all. This is medieval Latin, so many of the usages are different. :)
