Well, the bat!theory was quite rampant around the publishing of the earlier books, so I thought I'd just throw it out there. ;P And I am very glad others picked up the gauntlet and added a few other cliche's I missed. ;)
Y'know... is it wrong that I *like* the idea of Snape's Animagus being a bat? And dementordelta has that awesome bat icon (I never knew bats were so well endowed, until I saw it^^)... C:
