What a great thought!!  Esp. since Snape wasn't exactly keen on his 
Dark Mark reappearing.  And since Boggarts can shift into any other 
form they choose, I'm sure other nasties can do the same.  And 
Dumbledore would want to protect Snape (and the students!) from that 
kind of danger.

Ooh - now THAT's an interesting idea - I too would like to see Harry 
look at Mrs. Figg with new eyes.  I'd like to see Mrs. Figg and Mrs. 
Longbottom (Neville's Grandmother) in active roles.  I'm so intrigued 
with the whole "old crowd" comment in GoF....
