Megan refers to the incident where Snape gets Lupin to floo into his office. 
This raises some security issues in my mind.

Why don't the students use floo powder to get around the school? Is it just 
that the school is so complex that they wouldn't be able to get off at the 
right stop? Or is there some enchantment which stops them?

Can you floo in and out of Hogwarts? The head in the fire thing which Sirius 
uses seems to be related. No-one , as far as I can remember either considers 
that this may be how he gets into the castle, or equally, states that it is 
impossible, as we are told several times about dis/apparation.

How on earth do you keep anything secure with locks, standard or magical, 
when a first year can open both the door behind which Fluffy lurked and 
Snape's office, which he tells us was locked with a spell which only a wizard 
could break. The place is full of wizards, so what's the point? Why doesn't 
he have a password , like the dorms and Dumbledore's office?

Just wondering

Eloise
