Hi All,

But then the actions of the teachers at Hogwarts don't make any 
sense. (I mentioned this in an earlier post on McGonagall but I'll 
restate it here.) If you were a teacher and had a kid in your class 
whose parents had been tortured to the point of madness by the 
lieutenants of an evil despot, and who was so scarred as a result 
that he needed his memory to be permanently wiped, wouldn't you go 
out of your way to make allowances for this? Wouldn't you go out of 
your way to be kind and nurturing to him? And yet the only teachers 
who are nice to him are a Werewolf and a disguised Death Eater! Why 
aren't Snape, McGonagall, Hooch, Trelawney, and all the other 
teachers really really nice to Neville?
