Potioncat:
Uh oh, here we go again!  :-)
Actually, given that she thought Neville dropped them somewhere on 
the grounds or in the castle, and that she thought Black was a 
deranged, very clever killer, I think she showed amazing restraint.  
McGonagall and Snape are the only two who really seemed to 
understand how dangerous Black was. (DD and Lupin certainly didn't!)

No I was thinking of the snippy little remark about not letting the 
foreign students know he couldn't do a simple spell (I've forgotten 
its name.)   Of course, that sort of pales in comparison.....
