Chapter 8: 

> Discussion Questions:
> 1) Is Crookshanks chewing a dead spider in front of
> Ron a message telling
> him he's on Ron's side?

Probably. Crookies is a smart kitty. Then again, he
could just be trying to traumatize Ron ^_~

> 2) Was Trelawney's prediction about Lavender's
> rabbit in any way
> truthful, or was it all a big coincidence?

Dumb luck. I could understand if Lavender was dreading
it because the rabbit was sick or injured, but random
lunch? Nah...

> 3) Lupin says the name Voldemort out loud. What does
> this say about him?

That's he's not scared of Voldy. Or that he, like
Dumbledore, believes using the real name lessens fear.


> 4) Was Harry foolish in telling Lupin about Snape?

Nope. But Lupin probably knows all about Snape
anyways. 

> 5) (Silly Question) Do you think that there are
> ghost formation gliding
> leagues? Olympics?

Head-put? The Long Glide? the 200m Air butterfly? 

> 6) Why did Sirius slash the painting - didn't he
> know that would give him
> away?

People do stupid things when pissed. He was probably
frustrated. For all we know, he could have been in
Griffendor and the Fat lady was the guard then, and he
hoped she would let him in in good faith. 

Chapter 9:
 
> 1) (Silly Question) Is Hermione the only person to
> read "Hogwarts, A
> History"?

Apparantly. Hermione, like me, reads anything. ^_~

> 2) Did Snape tell Dumbledore about Lupin because he
> holds a grudge
> against the Mauraders, or because he wants the DADA
> job?

I'm thinking more along the lines of the grudge. If
Snape gets the job of DADA, then we'd have to find a
new Potions master, which would just confuse my little
brain...

> 3) Is Malfoy's arm still injured?

Yeah right. If his arm was still injured, I'm mother
to a hippogriff. 

> 4) Despite their constant teasing, does the
> Gryffindors' response to
> Snape's insult prove they all really like Hermione?

Of course. It's probably like me and my sisters. We
can't stand each other one bit, but if you hurt one of
us we'll break your nose. 

> 5) Was Crookshanks outside the dormitory to protect
> Harry?

Nah, I think he was after Scabbers. 

> 6) Why do the dementors come to the Quidditch game?
> Because of Sirius, or
> because of Harry?

Because they want to eat Harry's soul. >=D

> 6a) Why do the dementors continually go after Harry?
> Will this be an
> issue in one of the later books?

Yes. I mean, if Voldemort has them as his natural
allies, what makes you think he wouldn't use them on
Harry?
