3)Why do you think Hermione and the other women (with the 
exception of McGonagall) can't see what a fraud Lockhart is? Do you 
think he uses some sort of charm that only affects females?

I think the whole Lockhart issue revolves around two favourite themes 
of JKR's: 1) Looks are deceptive (Think Lockhart is to Hermione as 
Veelas are to Ron) 2) You can't trust everything you read. Remember 
that everyone still thinks that Lockhart did the things he says he did 
in his books. These are BOOKS; this is HERMIONE! Besides, I doubt that 
Lockhart has enough talent for a love charm...

5)Why would they let a student keep a broken wand? Doesn't the staff 
think it could be dangerous since a broken wand is unpredictable?

Sorry, I don't own a copy of CofS yet. Does it mention that the 
teachers know he has a broken wand? If not, then it seems obvious to 
me that Ron would hide it. He can't stand charity, and would be too 
proud to take a hand-me-down wand as well as a hand-me-down rat, IMO.

Cheers!
