Carol:
Which leads me to wonder how he taught his other third-year students
(the Slytherins, Ravenclaws, and Hufflepuffs) to deal with boggarts,
unless their classes came before the Gryffindors'. And what about the
students in other years? Did he teach them the same curriculum he
taught the third-years? If so, how did they learn to banish boggarts
if Neville had finished the boggart off? If not, who taught them?
Certainly not from Lockhart or Crouch!Moody or Umbridge, and probably
not Quirrell, either. Oops, Lupin. Bad move. Better search the castle
for another boggart, and keep this one intact until the last student
has confronted it.
