10. Do you think that the promise Dumbledore wanted 
from Snape, in their conversation near the Forbidden 
Forest, was unrelated to these prior promises?

houyhnhnm:

Ah, another partially overheard conversation in the 
forest. Yes, I think it was unrelated. The promise 
Dumbledore wanted from Snape will turn out to be something 
we don't know about yet.

Snow:

And yet Harry says something very similar to Snape's reprise in the 
forest:
"I've had enough, I've seen enough, I want out, I want it to end, I 
don't, care anymore-" OOP pg 824

Snape's reply to Dumbledore in the forest:

"Well-I jus' heard Snape sayin Dumbledore took too much fur granted 
an' maybe, he-Snape- didn't wan' ter do it anymore-" HBP pg 405 

Funny how both Harry and Snape responded to the same party under 
different circumstances in a very similar manner :)

Both of them wanted out! Could it be for the same reason?

Kathryn Jones:

11. Hagrid called Filch "a sneaking Squib." Have we ever 
heard Hagrid talk to another co-worker like this before 
and what does it say about their relationship? Do you 
think that Hagrid has some personal conflict with Filch? 
Does this seem out of character for Hagrid? Does Hagrid 
share the WW dislike of Squibs?

Houyhnhnm snipped:

I think it is Filch's personality that Hagrid dislikes rather than 
the fact that he is a Squib. 

Snow:

Yep! I thought that Filtch was making Hagrid feel that he was as far 
down the totem pole as Filtch always thought he was and Hagrid 
plucked a higher notch by informing Filtch that he was at the very 
least a teacher and did have magical skills even if he wasn't allowed 
to use them by his dominant statement.
