Oh come on - I'm just over-Snilied right now. Too much of a good thing can be...too much.
I think it would be interesting from the Snape perspective, actually, but there aren't many topics that wouldn't appeal from his perspective. (I was thinking 'Snape has to educate Potter on old-world wizarding custom for the rites might be fun. lots od 'dunderhead!' possibilities there...:P) Of course, I am fascinated with the idea that, essentially, the magical world sealed itself at a certain point in the Middle Ages and what hold-overs from that time have remained (especially with the purebloods) v. what has shifted as 'new blood' has come in from outside... Gah, it's a medievalist thing, I think.
