Now that's tough! Just one?

Well, it would have to be about Snape. I guess that it would have to 
be the question of why Dumbledore trusts him, though she'd probably 
say something as helpful as the comment about "I know Snape, and he 
wasn't about to put on a turban".

An alternative, something that I've always wanted to know, is just 
where he was and what he was doing while the Trio were busy fighting 
their way towards the Philosopher's Stone. Porphyria knocked my 
little theory, S.U.C.C.E.S.S (Snape Unfortunately Comatose Couldn't 
Ensure Stone's Safety, which posited that Quirrel had put a sleeping 
draught in his pumpkin juice or otherwise put him out of action) on 
the head many moons ago, but I'd still like to hear from the horse's 
mouth just why he seems to have backed off at the critical moment 
when he *knew* Harry et al were on the case.
