allowed to do magic in the open.  He says so when he's telling the Trio 
about his trip to find the Giants.  "We had to go slow, 'cause I'm not 
really s'posed ter use magic an' we knew the Ministry'd be lookin' fer a 
reason ter run us in." (pg 377 Can Ed)


Morgan again: This is an interesting point. How can a wizard who is not allowed to do magic be made a professor at Hogwarts? And also, why is he not allowed to do magic? Does anyone remember what exactly he was expelled for? - was it for opening the chamber or just for having Aragog in the castle? Once it was obviously Riddle who opened the chamber, why wasn't he allowed to do magic?
