You know, I'd never thought until now about exactly how the Foe-
Glass works.  I'd assumed it was like the Mirror of Erised, and its 
reflection agreed with whoever was standing directly in front of 
it.  But it sounds as if it's "set" to be used by one owner.  I 
thought that Harry saw Dumbledore, McGonagall and Snape because he 
wasn't looking directly at it.  Frankly, I thought that Snape was 
looking at the Foe-Glass because it would be able to show him HIS 
enemy (and what if that was himself?)
