Carol responds:
Or the unintelligible word could be "apparently," which makes perfect
sense both in the context of the book and of Rushdie's theory. He
certainly didn't believe that Snape was a villain when he posed the
question, whatever he believes after her answer. Probably he's as
confused as we are.

Carol, thinking that we'd be unwise to base any hypotheses or even
speculations on unintelligible words
