	Interesting theory, but I'm afraid it's a reference to  Ch. 9 of 
PoA, p 172 (US edition) where Snape is teaching Lupin's DADA class and 
commenting on the students' work.
	"Very poorly explained...That is incorrect, the kappa is more 
comnonly found in Mongolia....Professor Lupin gave this eight out of 
ten? I wouldn't have given it three...."
