Talk:Temeritus Shanks

Gender
Is Shanks really a witch? Shanks is wearing clothes similar to those worn by Lockhart in CoS/f during the Duelling Club sequence. This can be seen here (sorry for the image, I can't get a better pic). Also, Shanks is wearing a Ruff. Ruffs were used in Weastern Europe mostly between the mid-sixteenth century and the mid-seventeenth century; I don't think a seventeenth century lady would be portrayed using trousers. --  Seth Cooper  owl post! 23:25, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
