Now me Lorrie: This has been bothering me for quite awhile. How is it,
that a school that has been searched countless times by skilled
Wizards and Witches nobody noticed this? I mean we can reasonably
argue that the Bathroom wasn't always a bathroom. Modern plumbing was
installed at some point, and no one, not the Plumber or his assitant
noticed that there was a giant crater down there? Nobody ever
mentioned it to the Headmaster / Headmistress?

And another thing that has been bothering the heck out of me. Sirius
Black was never given a trial, yet and I believe this is correct (I've
simply *got* to get the books away from my Dad) Dumbledore himself
said he'd given testimony that Sirius *was* Lily and James' Secret
Keeper. So that means there was some sort of investigation. Nobody
thought to do a Prior Incantato on Sirius' wand? Now, I know that it
was a time that feeling was running rampant, instead of logic, but the
WW does have wizarding laws.

Okay, I'll shut up for now. If this has been addressed umpteen times
sorry. Just somethings that were on my mind. Anyone have the answers?
