Potioncat:
"For one year we had the goofy Lockhart as DADA.  I don't know about 
you, but I thought he was a little creepy.  Yet Harry was assigned 
detention with Lockhart for at least 4 hours, alone late at night. 
It was at Lockhart's request, but it was the Deputy who assigned it 
for an illegal use of a magic car.  What was she thinking?"
 
LisaMarie:
"I never got the impression that she thought he was "creepy."  I 
don't think that she saw Harry's 4 hours with Lockhart as a danger; 
merely a deprivation of free time, a just punishment for his 
actions."


Meidbh:
I'm with Lisa Marie on this one. Lockhart was pretty transparent - 
immensely egotistical people often are. I'd have hoped that a no-
nonsense sort like MM would have had Lockart on the first train out 
of there if she suspected he posed any danger to the students.

Meidbh (who would rather a detention with the excruciating Lockhart 
any day over one with Umbridge - ouch!)
