Good point.  Still, I think that if he had been specifically requested
to
"guard the students" he wouldn't have been sleeping.

Ack.  I blush as I say, "I knew that!"  (And to think I always laughed
at
Harry and Ron for continually forgetting!)  Well, I suppose he might
have apparated into Hogsmeade and walked to the school from there--but
then what about his trunk?  How DO the teachers get to Hogswart, or do
they live there year round?  If they don't, what do they do during the
summers?
