sachmet96:
I still think it was Snape who saved him and not Hermione as Harry 
would have fallen of the broom if Snape wouldn't have counteracted 
Quirrel's curse. But even if it was Hermione Harry owes her a life 
debt now, what is he going to do about that?

Wish Snape had succeded. But anyway I still think he went partly to 
the Shack to save Harry, because he knew Remus was a werewolf and 
hadn't taken the potion, unfortunately he was knocked out.

But Fawkes is a pet. I don't think Harry can own a life debt to an 
(immortal) bird, so it would go onto Dumbledore or not? 
I am really confused about the concept of life debts, is the 
intention to save ones life enought to get into a life debt? Is it 
inheritable? That would be really stupid, everyone would then owe 
life debts.
