Clearly, today is the day to feed my apparent Snape/grumpy old man fetish. What with this and the Snape/Moody... I suppose with his bitchiness and temper tantrums he does need somebody to tell him off sometimes, doesn't he? *grins* And it's my favourite explanation as to why Snape would have Filch seeing to his injured leg in PS rather than, oh, the school nurse perhaps? Oh, Rowling - with that and the whips and chains you've quite spoiled us. And aw bless 'em, even as randy old men. Filthy bastards. :D I was grinning all the way through.
