This article doesn't answer my question. But it does have lots of other interesting tidbits, including a link to an article on the correlation between interest in science fiction and interest in the space program, and the fact that people with higher incomes are less likely to watch the X-Files, but equally likely to watch Star Trek.

I'll rec you sf, too, if you need more help procrastinating . . .

The raven story is by (*cough*) Letitia Landon. It's here. The first chapters are Harry angsting with many silly metaphors; Snape shows up later on and provides a saner point of view.
