Is it just me or is anybody else wondering how Sirius was able to use
floo to talk to Harry before the 1st task? Maybe since this is like
the telephone, it is allowed. And Lupin could use the floo since he
was just going from one part of the building to the other. Now I'm
wondering why people are always using Owl Post when it seems a lot
quicker to stick your head in a fire to do all of your correspondence.
Heck, save your self a trip to Diagon Alley, just stick your head in
the fire ask for what you want, give them the gold and pull back the
merchandise. I'd assume this topic has been discussed, but I haven't
run across it in a FAQ.

VD> I knoooowwww you can't apparate or disapparate anywhere in Hogwarts! Sheeesh! Why couldn't he walk just outside the gates and do it? Or walk to Hogsmeade and do it? I know I said "from
VD> Hogawarts", but I think we all know what I meant, Hermione! He could floo or disapparate just *outside* of Hogwarts, then continue with a series of floos and apparitions (is that the right way
VD> to say it?) until he got where he needed to be! I'll try to be a bit more clear in the future!
