Potioncat:
This is the WW. It isn't warm and fuzzy. Harry is expected to 
recover on his own and to behave himself while he goes about it. 
McGonagall shows up fresh out of St. Mungo's, (carrying her own 
bags, for Heaven's sake!) and enforces Snape's suggestion without a 
qualm and with great style!

I know, I know, Draco started it.  But when has that ever been an 
acceptable excuse for McGonagall or Snape?
