Challenge: mythbusting: Harry Potter's father
Word Count: 100
Letter to the Daily Prophet, published two days after their excerpt from Harry Potter: The Truth Behind the Scar, by M. Melchizedek Mintweed:
Sirs:
We have read the recently published book claiming that Harry Potter is not the child of James and Lily Potter, as has been assumed since his birth, but the result of a liaison between Lily Potter and Severus Snape. This claim is categorically false, as Professor Snape was visiting friends at Durmstrang during the time when Mrs. Potter's child was conceived.
We trust that this settles the matter.
S. Snape, Hogwarts
Harry Potter, Ministry of Magic
