  Questions:

  1.  It is in this chapter that we first see Hermione exhibiting signs 
  of burnout.  Why hasn't anyone (namely teachers) noticed before now?  
  Why was she even allowed to take such a ghastly load anyway?  
      I figured that this was a "trial by fire" and the teachers know that if she can't handle the workload she will cut back on her schedule next year.

  2.  Were Ron and Harry right to behave so abominably to Hermione in 
  the affair of the Firebolt?
      No

  3.  How did Lupin find the boggart in Filch's filing cabinet in the 
  first place?
      He probably asked someone where he could find a Boggart.

  4. *Is* it obvious what is making Lupin ill?  (yeah, yeah, yeah, I 
  know.  Pretend this is the first time you've read PoA)
      I don't think that it is obvious what's making Lupin ill, at least I had no clue the first time I read PoA.

  5.  Wood has the Gyffindor team practising 5 nights a week.  Do you 
  think this is allowed by school rules?  Is Wood a little *too* 
  obssessed?  
      Too obsessed? What's that? <g>  I think that Wood realizes this is his last chance to win the Quidditch Cup and has become a little obesessed over it.

  6. Put on your thinking caps now.  Which is a worse fate: death, or 
  the dementor's kiss? Why?  
      The Kiss, because with the kiss you continue living but as an empty shell no longer deriving any enjoyment from life.

  7.  Ron is apparantly more easily angered at Hermione than is Harry, 
  even in the Firebolt Fuss.  Why is this?
      Because Ron has a bit more of a temper than Harry.

  "You know, said Ron, whose hair was on end because of all the times he had run his fingers through it in frustration, "I think it's time for the old Divination standby."
  "What--make it up?"
     Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
