One of Doug's defining characteristics is that he is a clown in the sense of "a Warrior who fights Gloom". I could see him making a self deprecating joke or even something bordering on a pratfall to relieve tension or to open up a class - in order to set up the following point -
Another defining element of Evil - true Evil - is that it cannot laugh at itself. The only humor it knowscomes at the expense of others.

Hmmm. I like that, that's a good idea. I think I'll paste that into the Harry Potter file for possible future use. Thanks!
(After editing the Harry Potter file.) And oddly enough, this led me down the path to a way to rescue some of the Snape/Doug interaction without deleting or editing it heavily... thanks again.
