I watched the Div class in PoA and began to wonder which way it was 
working.  Trelewany tried to get Harry to "see" Beaky twitching 
headles on the ground, but Harry tells her he sees him flying off. JKR
does not say he BS'ed it; nor that anybody in the class did.  My 
question is, did Harry "seeing" Beaky fly away, somehow _cause_ or 
contribute to causing, Beaky's escape? Going out further on this limb,
night this be how magic works, involving visualization of the desired
effect?

Running, dodging, and ducking,
