LOLOL. Just wanted to say that I posted reply that is similar to 
yours in some aspects that Yahoomort seems to have eaten few hours 
ago, but I am still hopeful it may show up.

And yeah, I agree about "not in the book" meaning author did not mean 
it to happen.

Actually scratch that - if something is a mystery that happened off 
screen, we may not know about it yet, yeah, but I don't consider 
Snape's teaching methods to be a mystery. :)

Alla:

In my reply Yahoomort ate I mentioned that Neville wants to show 
Sprout his Mimmbletonia, to me it can be interpreted that they may 
have some extra private lessons or something.

Alla:

YES, precisely, scaring may force some kids to listen better, IMO 
Neville is so not one of them.


Alla, who is still hopeful that her reply will show up.
