I wasn't discounting your suggestions, Amanda.  In fact, I had put that 
whole notion on a shelf until the graveyard scene in GoF, V. Made Harry 
bow.  Someone please correct me if I'm wrong - but he didn't seem to 
use a curse to do that.

Something I hadn't thought about - Snape knew where the entrance to 
that tunnel (behind the witch) was?  He would have to figure that Harry 
couldn't have just mosey'd down to Hogsmeade, true. We know Snape knew 
about the Whomping Willow tunnel. In order to have known where to be to 
catch Harry, though, I think Snape would have to have known about the 
candy shop tunnel (Honey...Honey...Honey Dew? No, that's not right.) as 
well.  Or do all the professors know about the tunnels (and not just 
Dumbledore and Filch -- and Fred/George)?
