FWIW, I have "tried to frighten me, when" et cetera.  Our VFAQ
offers but doesn't actually provide a link to an essay on
differences between copies...?

I bring it up because I'm still wondering what Snape is really
up to in PS.  I wonder if he wants the Stone for himself - just
long enough to upgrade his Potions cauldron to gold, perhaps -
and is hoping that with Quirrell as decoy, he can get in ahead -
whereas Quirrell is also using Snape as decoy.

Do Alchemy and making the Elixir of Life fall under Potions?
