This tangent is getting into particularly ugly places. Apologies to anyone for whom it's becoming a problem; and thanks to people who are being sensitive to the problem; and pleas to everyone to continue to be so!
Regarding that "technicality" -- I think this is exactly the kind of technicality that Winter Law embraces. Molly is entirely "virginal" for purposes of the Lady's Mantle, however many "bases" she has run (that being the specific metaphor she used, IIRC).
I think it's very possible that Slate was subtly constrained (by Mab? -- who may well have seen a Mantle for Lily as a distant-but-possible contingency plan) to similarly "preserve" Lily's technical virginity. Huge amounts of cruelty can be inflicted without crossing that specific line.

And ParanetOnline is specifically an international forum, with plenty of folk for whom English is not a native language.
And in these "glorious" modern days of speech-to-text, autocomplete, & autocorrupt, this may be an error of the *device* not the person.
The days of pointing out these sorts of errors as anything relevant or valid are long over.
smh, indeed.

I'll give him/her the point and say that I misspoke and meant progeny instead of prodigy. I simplified it and took out all the big words to make sure my point was clear. As for the other, it's impact on me is minimal since being old and dull, I had to look up smh.

It is a well established fact Harry knows absolutely NOTHING about women.
