G.C.:

Just adding onto all that handwriting recognition/Snapes Potions Book 
business. In the books we never actually hear of teachers actually writing 
on the blackboard themselves, all we hear is something like 'they flicked 
their wand and the writing appeared'. How do we know that the writing that 
appears is how they would write with a quill? In addition, the marks that 
Harry gets back are only that, marks, like E.E. (exeeds expectations) or 
something of the sort, well for potions it was a T for troll. Some letters 
you can't really match with scribbles in a book.

And we also know from the book that in the HBP's potion book, the writing 
had to be small enough to fit between the lines, and it was tiny, sometimes 
hard to read, so i may have been smaller than even Snape was writing in his 
OWL exam that Harry saw. And, when Harry went into the pensieve, I may be 
wrong here, but didn't he only glance at his writing, and then move on to 
find Lupin, James and Sirius?
