[HPforGrownups] A possible Flint?

I'm not sure what a Flint is, but in my U.S. edition it says that Sprout
escorted them to DADA after class.  I do think it interesting, however, that
Snape seems to have let them go on their own at the castle door.  He seems
to hang out in the dungeon a lot, and is otherwise usually seen at night,
with the exception of the Quidditch in SS/PS where he fought off
Quirrel/Voldemort's spell on Harry's broom.  Hmmmmm....:)

  *gets all excited because she thinks she found a Flint*

  OK, in CoS, during the time when the students are being accompanied
  everywhere by the teachers, Snape takes the Gryffindors/Hufflepuffs
  down to the the greenhouses for Herbology. That's all well and good,
  as they just had Potions. But *after* Herbology, Snape is there again
  to take them to DADA. (Ch 15, p199 in the Aust ed) Why? Why didn't
  Professor Sprout take them or Lockhart pick them up? I don't think
  Snape would have hung around for the Herbology lesson. For one thing,
  that's not a very Snape-ish thing to do, is it? For another, the
  quote '...when Snape had seen them out of the castle, and they were
  making their way across the vegetable patch...' (p199 again) implies
  to me that Snape didn't take them all the way out to the greenhouse
  but just booted them out the front door (*much* more in character!)
  and hurried off to his favorite pastime of preserving slimy green
  things in jars.

  I've always wanted a Flint all my own...have I finally found one???
