"You fuffyhead."
That seems to be Harry favorite barb these days. It's not really an insult,
since Harry really doesn't have any idea what an insult is or why or when
someone would use one, and since "fuffyhead" really isn't all that
insulting a word. It is, perhaps not surprisingly, a rhyming derivation of
"poopyhead," which is, of course, a less favorable, yet completely
understandable result of Harry hanging around with other three-year-olds.
We, and Harry's teacher who I've spoken with about the two terms, feel that
we're doing pretty good if we minimize the "poopyheads" and joke
about the "fuffyheads."
