 As for the hag question... I'm not sure
> although the Lexicon defines hags as "Hags are what one might 
refer to as  "fairy tale witches".  Hags are wild in appearance, and 
they have been known to eat children."

Tonks:
I got that one wrong. I thought that maybe the bad reputation of 
Hags was not true so I said that Inferi can not speak.

I do have a question about a couple of the other questions on the 
test. If someone got an Outstanding does that mean that they got 
them all right?  Or could they have missed one or two? Because I am 
questioning a couple of the answers from the person that got the 
Outstanding.

I mean
 what do we know about Giants?  I thought that they were a 
bit nearsighted.  Are we sure that they are cannibals?  Where does 
it say either of those things?  I checked at Lexicon, but could not 
find anything definite. 

And are there no male veela?  I guess common sense would be that 
there must be to continue the race, but we never hear about them, do 
we? 

what do we know about the feet of a hag?

And the biggest concern for me is the one about House Elves
  I 
thought that they were bound to the family, not to the building.  
Can't a master order an elf to kill himself?  IF the false answer 
has to be one of these and the second answer was give by someone who 
got an Outstanding, where does that leave us with house elves?  How 
can their allegence be to the house?  Is this some sort of British 
usage of the word?  That `house' means family or something?  I think 
of it as just the building, which does not make sense to me. And if 
it is the house, what happens to an elf when the house is distroyed 
and the family is still around?
