But of course, and it is all the evil Damsel's fault! I've been mere 84
years old for more than a decade now, because she won't let me get any
older. I am much, much older than that. What else do you expect of
young Harry's grandmother? He's been a grandfather in his own right for
quite a few years already. I look exactly like you would expect if it
were not for Damsel!

BTW, "Az" means "I" in Old Church Slavonic. God is supposed to refer to
Himself as "Az", for example. The first letter in the Russian alphabet
used to be called "az", too. Every letter had a name, akin to the Greek
with its "alpha", "beta" etc. and the Russian word for "alphabet" was
and still is "azbuka", for the same reason. It is the same in Serbian
and Bulgarian.
