Rialb on Slugs and Slughorn

Merlin and I have been pretty busy getting ready for the Baptism tomorrow of my third son and his God-son. Well, that and everything else both sacred and profane. Rumor has it that Merlin is editing an entire encyclopedia for a mad professor-friend of ours. Don't worry - all deadly weapons have been hidden well out of Merlin's reach in case he goes postal. In the meantime, Rialb has a good post on the Hogwarts' newest potions master that provokes some thinking and is an especially refreshing reverie from the horcrux speculations, Snape speculations, the "is-Dumbledore-not-quite-dead-yet-like-the-Black-Knight-in-that-Monty-Python-movie" speculation and the "will-Trevor-the-Toad-kill-Mrs.-Norris" speculation.
