>   pg. 122--...Looking very peculiar in a large purple turban... He
wasn't wearing the turban the first time in Diagon that Harry met him.
	Because Quirrel wasn't possessed until after he had failed to 
steal the stone from Gringotts and Voldie decided he needed more 
supervision. SS ch.17 GOF ch.33,

 
>
>   pg. 126--Why did Harry's scar hurt when Snape looked at him in
the hall the first time?
	Snape's looking at Harry was coincidence. The pain was caused by 
Quirrel/Voldie's murderous thoughts. Poor Snape! The first time he
even 
looks at Harry the kid winces in pain, no wonder the guy is hostile.

> 
>   pg. 134--Why did DADA class smell strongly like garlic (and why
was the turban stuffed with it?  What was the significance of the
garlic and Voldie?
	I still think it's because Snape is secretly part vampire...the 
garlic is a veiled threat...but so far nobody on this list buys that, 
oh well.
> 
>   pg. 136--Snape had the gift of keeping a class silent without
effort.  It sounds like he did have the knack of teaching, just not
the attitude!

	See 134 above.

>   pg. 138--Why did Snape ask Harry "those" particular questions? 
What significance did that have?
	I bet this potion shows up eventually...like hanging a dueling 
pistol on the wall in the first act. 

>   Chapter Eleven
>   pg. 192--Why is Hagrid SO adamant about it NOT being Snape?
	Hagrid may know that Dumbledore considers  Snape loyal, could it 
be that  Snape, like Harry, was able to summon Fawkes in a tight spot 
(You must have shown me real loyalty...Nothing but that could have 
called Fawkes to you. CoS ch.18)

>   pg. 212--Apparating inside Hogwarts?  Just an idea, did Harry
trigger a trap the first time he came into the mirror room, and if
so, did Dumbledore apparate to him, or was he just hidden in the
shadows?  (I'm thinking of the trap in The Dragon Knight?)
	Perhaps Dumbledore had a portkey? Or the spells which governed the 
obstacles may have been set to allow Dumbledore alone to pass through?
He can't have been hiding there all along unless he was using a time 
turner, because Ron and Hermione met him in the entrance hall.
