I adore that line. It's just so very, very Albus. And the exchange that follows it is just priceless.
Seeing the creation of the Penseive was fabulous. And the end! I adore a conniving Minerva! ::grin::
I can absolutely believe that both Snape and Dumbledore, each isolated for their own reasons, would be sexually inexperienced. I love the idea of these two -- who are so incredibly NOT innocent in any other way -- having the opportunity to explore their sexuality together.
