Potioncat:
I snipped a great deal. Very good post and you brought up a lot of 
good questions.  I hope we haven't found a major flow in the 
writing...but given Jo's details in the rest of the series, I'll 
overlook it if we have.

It is very hard to believe that DD didn't know the marauders could 
transfigure.  Does anyone know where it is that DD speaks about it.  
Was he misleading us again?  And certainly, he knew after the prank 
that the boys knew about the tunnel and the way to disarm the tree.
