Nice diagram!  Funny, it didn't show up when I read the post on the 
numbered messages board, but it DID format itself correctly when I 
hit the "Reply" button.  I only meant that nobody sees the same 
thing in the Foe-Glass.  Like in the Mirror of Erised, Harry can't 
see Ron's vision, and Ron can't see Harry's.  So Harry would not be 
able to see what Snape was seeing in the Foe-Glass, and presumably 
Dumbledore and McGonagall would each be seeing something different 
too. This doesn't explain, though, why he could see *Crouch's* 
enemies in the Foe-Glass, so that's why I think now that it must be 
set for a particular user.  However, the Room of Requirement had a 
Foe-Glass in it, too - how would it have functioned?  Was it set for 
Harry's use alone, as he was the one who requested the room?
