Newbie + translation questions

2. At the end of PoA, after Sirius has escaped with Buckbeak, Snape 
is furious. In my Chinese translation, Fudge suggested that Sirius 
escaped by *transfiguration,* and Snape answered no one could 
transfigure in the castle. This is really weird because we've seen 
both McGonagall and Sirius transform in the castle! Is it an 
inconsistency or a translation mistake? (I'm inclined to believe the 
latter.)

~I think it's meant to be 'Apparate' (couldn't be bothered to look it 
up ;-)

3. When Harry tells Lupin that the thing he fears most is not 
Voldemort but the dementors, does Lupin say "I'm impressed" (my 
guess)? My translation goes something like "I remember" and that 
doesn't make sense to me!

~It's "I'm impressed," Then something about how it's wise to fear 
fear itself.

4. Does Prof. Trelawney know that Lupin's a werewolf? That 
conversation she has with McDonagall in the Xmas dinner table reads 
like she do

~Either she knows (Snape knew...) beacause of Dumbledore saying so, 
but maybe he only told the 'high up' teachers. I think her Inner Eye 
tells her something is up, but no specifics...

Hope that helps! :-)
