Double Entendres (I love this stuff)

I could eat this stuff up with a spoon. Granger has some stuff on his site on the name "Half-Blood Prince." There has been much speculation on the question of Snape being a Vampire ... the son of a vampire muggle would be both "Half-Blood Prince" and "Half Blood-Prince" Granger notes that Rowling has adamantly denied Snape is a Vampire, a little too adamantly, like she is covering up and hiding from some very good guessers. Granger had Snape pegged as a possibility for the HBP back before the book came out, back when just the title had been released ... although he sided more with the possibility of it being Godric Gryffindor. I like Rowling more and more as time goes on; she is like that conversation in Lewis' That Hideous Strength. When the Eldil (archangels from the other planets in the solar system) arrive upstairs for the council with Ransom, the "hoi poloi" on the first floor are overtaken with actions that mimic the characteristic of the eldil who has just arrived. So when Mercury (the god of language) arrives, they begin to have this conversation that is witty beyond all belief, saturated with double entendres, ironies, word plays and the like.
