I'm heartily sorry I didn't see this earlier - it was sheer delight, to coin a phrase. :-D
Sir Nick's voice is *perfect* - I could just hear the sly delight at getting to "waft past propriety" and having such fabulous tales to tell.
I laughed until I cried over Dumbledore's comeuppance with the chile-coated pestle and not only because I'm just that cruel *g*, but because the idea of Severus laughing until his sides hurt is so wonderful; he couldn't have had much to laugh about before or since.
The scene of George and Angelina with Umbridge's cocoa is sexy and delightfully wicked, and the thought of her consuming the - hem,hem - extra protein (of which the house elves must have been fully aware, those devious creatures) is queasily hilarious.
And I'm afraid I'm going to have the image of Lockhart manacled and gussied up and getting his cheeks smacked by Minerva in my head for quite some time. How she's ever going to be able to set eyes on him again without bursting into giggles is beyond me. I can image her escaping the scene and collapsing into laughter the moment she closed the door to her chambers behind her. *g* I'll bet it's the first time she's ever sincerely wanted to thank Peeves!
Thank you for bright spark you just put in my day, PFC!
