Maybe Ebony was talking about Sinistra being on the left due to alphabetical order? Of course, that'd mean between Doug and Snape.... Anyway, when I thought about it a bit more, there's no reason the faculty and staff should be required to sit in alphabetical order, especially as it's been shown the students aren't.
