Dear Mr. Snape,

I have already broken all my new year's resolutions. You often speak of discipline -- how do you control your urges?

How do I control my urges? By not having any.

I find it difficult to believe you have no urges at all. You have control over all of them, without a doubt. But to claim their absence entirely? I call shenanigans.

I am not surprised you find it difficult. There is much about me you could never understand. The fact that you do not believe it does not make it any the less true.

If I do not understand something it's not for lack of trying. More information would certainly be helpful in this area...care to elucidate?

I don't believe in Santa Cause or the Easter Bunny either. Does this mean they exist?

Your lack of logic is astounding. Do try to keep up. The fact that you do not believe I have no urges does not make it any the less true. This has nothing to do with the mythologies of Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny.

Two sample syllogisms:

1) If A = B and B = C then A = C
2) If A is true and A = B, then B is true.

What you consider a syllogism: "If A is true then B is true."

Given the lack of rigor in your thinking, is it any wonder I do not feel the need to explain myself to you?

Obviously, along with your urges you have managed to purge your sense of humor. The quip about mythological holiday figureheads was meant to be amusing, nothing more.

And there is nothing wrong with my logic. I was simply being my nosey self and requesting more information. You yourself stated There is much about me you could never understand. I was making an (albeit poor) attempt at doing just that. Understanding.

You seem to be in a right mood this evening. Would a drink help? Yes, that is an offer.

It is my birthday. Need I say more? Wretched things, birthdays.

Ah, why so it is. Then allow me to extend my condolences. I have no gift to give you, but the offer of a drink still stands.
