want Harry wandering around the WW wandless. If so, it's odd that he's
tried so often to *prevent* Harry from breaking the rules (e.g., going
to Hogsmeade without permission) and that he has twice had good reason
to expel him: When HRH knocked him against the cave wall with an
Expelliarmus, he (mis)informed Fudge that they were confunded

referring  when /Harry/ used an Expelliarmus charm on Snape in the
/Shrieking Shack/ in COS?

Carol answerss:
It wasn't just Harry. It was all three of them (HRH):

"Before Snape could take even one step toward him, he [Harry} had
raised his wand.

"'*Expelliarmus!*' he yelled--except that his wasn't the only voice
that shouted. There was a blast that made the door rattle on its
hinges; Snape was lifted off his feet and blasted into the wall. . . .

"Harry looked around. Both Ron and Hermione had tried to disarm Snape
at exactly the same moment. . . .

"'We attacked a teacher. . . We attacked a teacher. . .' Hermione
whimpered, staring at the lifeless Snape with frightened eyes. 'Oh,
we're gong to be in so much trouble--'"(PoA Am. ed. 361-62).

So, yes, that's the passage I was referring to. It was all three, not
just Harry, who did it, and Snape tells Fudge that all three were
confunded (386). He could have had all three expelled, but instead he
covers up for them.
