> Alternatively, if the Boggart can sense when it is being seen, it
turned into Moody's Boggart, and that is something one would not find
hiding in a piece of furniture, even at the Black house.

Lynda:
> Now that's an interesting assumption. It seems to me that a boggart 
would feel extremely ..."comfortable" in a house like the Black's. 
Dark, full of creepy things. Inhabited by people (for many years) who 
are, dedicated to the dark arts.

Ceridwen:
I'm not sure zgirnius is saying that the Boggart would not be found 
in the Black house.  I read this as: if the Boggart felt Moody 
looking at it, it automatically changed into whatever it is that is 
Moody's fear.  The fear is not something that would be found in a 
piece of furniture.  Hermione's Boggart - McGonagall telling her she 
had failed everything - would not be found in furniture, for 
instance.  If Moody's Boggart was his being attacked by Death Eaters, 
then of course it would not be in furniture, at the Black house or 
anywhere.

This was my impression.  I am not trying to speak for zgirnius.
