death to capslock

I don't think JKR's terribly consistent with the ages thing (doesn't someone remark on how it's amazing McGonagall was okay after getting hurt in OotP at 'her age', but wizards have longer lifespans? So her age is like, middle-age, supposedly. And apparently the Black tree all has normal lifespans in our terms, rather than people being 200 or whatever.) either, but I'd gladly sacrifice Maggie Smith if it meant sleepwalking Rickman was out, too.
