Ginger:
>(As an aside, I never noticed that all
>the other teachers were referred to by JKR as Professor with >Snape being
the exception.  Hmmm.)

Christina: I think that is again because we are reading Harry's POV. He
doesn't think of Snape as Professor Snape, although DD and even Sirius and
Lupin tell Harry to call him Professor. He called DD Professor or Headmaster
when he's with him but when he's talking with R & H he just says DD. Same
with Lupin, I believe.

Re: Underage magic, this has bothered me as well. It's obvious the Weasley
kids had been doing magic all along. Didn't Hermione say she'd been reading
and practicing as soon as she got her letter and found out about her powers?
It seems like there is a lot of ambiguity in this restriction.
