Thanks for answering, you are probably right about Winky. I am not 
sure whether Snape being wrong about kappas is irrelevent. I agree it 
is unlikely to have a bearing on the story, but it bothers me just 
because it seems a strange mistake to make. If he was trying to pick 
holes in Lupin's teaching, surely claiming that Lupin was wrong when 
any student could verify he was right just by looking it up is rather 
a stupid thing to do. I admit this bugs me far more than it ought to.
