"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

"rubeus" is Latin for "red".

I found this article, which mentions this book:

"It becomes like literary detective work," says David Colbert, author of The Magical Worlds of Harry Potter: A Treasure of Myths, Legends, and Fascinating Facts (Lumina Press, $14.95.)

There's also this site, which might have some info.

I've never heard of any Greek myth involving a Hagrid, and I asked my friend who also has a Classics degree, and she checked her mythology dictionary, and couldn't find anything. We think it's bullshit.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

The name is also not listed at Encyclopedia Mythica.

Sounds like horribly pervasive fanon, to me. But it's all over the HP sites I looked at.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Excellent links, Dana! Cheers!

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Pst... Fay, send me your address, I have Firefly tape for you

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Oh, dear. I was reading a Harry Potter story, and it was going along just fine, but Lupin just gave Snape a kitten. Hmph.

I was reading a Harry Potter story, and it was going along just fine, but Lupin just gave Snape a kitten.

Scary as it is, I think I know what story you're reading. Well-written, but not good enough to rec. And there is that kitten.

I can see Snape with a cat. Except it has to be an ornery, black cat full of hiss and claw.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket

Fay, sweetheart, if you're still here, I tried to return your message but Hotmail tells me your storage limit is up.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

whimper.

It's all those perishing ads they keep sending me promising to enlarge my penis.

(Considers penis mightier than the sword quippage. Thinks better of it.)

also? The Remus-giving-Snape-a-kitten thing? Oh, again, dear. But Snape-with-cat would be plausible - what is his familiar? Or does he not have one? But yes, it would have to be a very stroppy scratchy sleek butch bad-tempered black cat...

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

That was the problem. The whole story was just *this side* of plausible...but then it wasn't. And I had to read the whole thing, and shrift laughed at me.

Hagrid sounds, if anything, kind of Norse-ish. Definitely not Greek or Latin.
