i am all for book references (and have used them many times in the 
past), but i was strictly talking about the movie when i wrote that 
post. in the movie, there is no scene in the faculty lounge, and the 
teachers' conversation is much shorter than in the book. plus, i 
cannot remember anyone saying anything about lockhart being "out from 
under our feet" in the movie. all i remember was that snape, 
mcgonnagal and dumbledore are talking, lockhart runs up, they explain 
to him what has happened, tell him it's his turn to act, and then the 
scene is over. harry and ron do not know that the teachers are just 
getting rid of lockhart.

of course, harry and ron are smarter than your average 13 year-olds 
(it's 13 in COS, right?), so they probably did know that the teachers 
wouldn't trust a stupid git like lockhart for the job. i am just 
basing what i am saying on what the movie shows us. there was nothing 
in the movie to show that harry/ron know that ginny hasn't been given 
up on by the other teachers, so i am just going to assume that they 
think the job was given soley to lockhart. that explains why, in the 
movie, they were so angry at him for trying to run away. of course, 
in the book, they have more reasons to dislike him, but the movie 
cannot include every singe lockhart appearance, so we do not fully 
understand their hatred of him.
