> Don't know if this was directed at me, but I got an Outstanding 
and I didn't  think the answer to that question came from canon.  I 
can't remember which  answer I picked, but I looked at it through 
the eyes of the kind of  prejudice JKR writes about.  Oh wait--I 
remember what I picked.  I said the females were bigger than the 
males.  I figured we'd seen them led by a male in canon so they 
couldn't be led by females, and didn't remember anything

cannibals  sounded more the kind of unfair myths that grow up 
around "primitive" cultures without being true.

 I think that might have been the question I answered by saying that 
it was false that freshwater merpeople were less fierce than 
saltwater ones, so I'm still not sure about male Veela.

(Snip) I think that was a question that said one of the

rather than the family as being false.
 

Tonks:
Maybe we should compare the answers of all of the people who got an 
Outstanding, because so far some of them do not match.  Sorry, it is 
the Auror in me. 

On the OT board Quibbler posted the answers that she gave.  They 
don't match what I gave (with EE) or what you gave.  I would like to 
get to the bottom of this so we can be ready for the next test.  I 
mean normally a teacher tells you the correct answer so that you can 
learn the correct information. 

Quibbler said that Hags eat children, and that giants are cannibals, 
and the double negative question that confused me that House-elves 
can not be ordered to kill themselves, which is false, which makes 
it true that they can be ordered to kill themselves.  But this 
leaves us with the Elf being loyal to the house which both you and I 
said was false.  Again I am back to the possibility that there can 
be more than one correct answer to the questions.  Or maybe I am 
just losing my mind
