Here is a photograph of myself and Albus Dumbledore taken at a Hogwarts Alumni Christmas Party. Notice that like all good students, I am wearing my house t-shirt: Slytherin. I graduated from Hogwarts before Harry Potter and his troublesome friends arrived to give my dear Professor Snape daily headaches. I daresay he wishes I were still there, benefitting from his tutelage. But, there are some advantages to being out of school. After all, as his Teaching Assistant I now have the leave of calling him Severus, and no one will think it odd if I am found in his office at odd hours of the night, helping him...grade scolls. Severus asked me to assist him in maintaining this little portion of his office and his potions manuals to leave him more time for dealing personally with students. I hope you all appreciate my hard work and the extra attention you will get from him as a result.

As to why my picture sits on his mantle, you will simply have to guess...

Send Me E-mail

I ran into Harry Potter at a Halloween party in New Orleans and had to take a picture. Harry, if you see this, drop me an e-mail! I wish I'd had a chance to chat with you at the party. Here's a recent picture of me, posing for the Hogwarts yearbook. The pictures don't move around on the web the way they do in the wizarding world, at least not without a fancy bit of magic which I haven't quite mastered yet. Still, I wanted you to see a better photo than my pose with Dumbledore above. If you've already explored the other far more fun and interesting bits of my website, or are one of my personal friends, or have some other silly reason to be interested, you can click here to visit the Cinzia Gallery and look at a bunch more pictures from the purple cloak photo shoot.

Here's me as a First Year at Hogwarts quite a long time ago! Awww... Looks like I was doing some foolish wand-waving.

I had a brief encounter with Alan Rickman, the actor who played our dear Professor in the Harry Potter film. Mmmmm!
