My Turn:
I get the feeling that he often gives Malfoy & co points during 
potions, but I could be wrong. I'm too sleepy to check the books.

My turn:
I know this may be a gross generalisation I can't see the Slytherins 
getting many points for academic pursuits. A lot of the Slyths we've 
met have been described as "lumps" - Goyle, Crabbe, S Quidditch 
team ... and i can't picture Pansy Parkinson as a brain either. Feel 
free to disagree at will. I'm headed for bed.
