Severus Snape, 01 September 1995, Note
Name: Severus Snape
Date: September 1st, 1995
Format: Note/"Art"
Relevence: Documents Stage II in the Ministry's first Voldemort War-era attempt to take Hogwarts, and illustrates S. Snape's opinions of various members of the 1995-6 Hogwarts staff. One of a collection of similar notes and sketches in the same hand, retrieved from a locked box in Headmaster A. Dumbledore's office.
First tier: various Hogwarts professors (and possibly some of the ghosts; fig. 3 in particular must be assumed to illustrate the Fat Friar, as Prof. Hagrid not present at the 1995 Welcome Feast), some wearing earmuffs and snoring. Prof. Snape himself half-hidden behind HM Dumbledore's left wrist.
Second tier: HM Dumbledore, beatific & weeping, giving his traditional opening words: "Walrus! Washpot! Blubber! Munchies!" (Archivist's suspicion that Prof. Snape took considerable liberties with the HM's speech have been confirmed) as the Sorting Hat rolls its eyes.
Fourth tier: (quality of drawing/pressure of pen on the napkin convinces archivist this tier was drawn before the third) Three tables of students listen to HM Dumbledore in silent consternation while the fourth throws its hats and arms in the air.
Third tier: A large fanged toad(?) on the right, weeping in a similar fashion to HM Dumbledore, with a bow under its chin and apparently wearing lipstick. Underlining and a vehement T-cross on the following note point to it and stab it in the eye.
Text: (Left-hand side)
"Fallwell.
Duckston.
Leeseek.
Lockhart...
...I can't even comment!"
