b. Head Girl?                   Hermione

hit him
d. Potions Master or Mistress?  Slughorn
e. Headmaster or -mistress?     McGonagall

 
> 9. Where do Snape's ultimate loyalties lie? 

He is loyal to Dumbledore, and vehemently anti-Voldemort. Dumbledore 
*did* know about clause 3 of the unbreakable vow, this is why he made 
Snape DADA teacher. In fact, Snape had told DD that Voldy expected 
him to "do it in the end" before he had even taken the vow.


> 10. Identify the seven Horcruxes. 

a. Voldemort 
b. The very secret Diary (destroyed)
c. The Peverell Ring (destroyed)
d. The Slytherin Locket (with Aberforth)
e. The Hufflepuff Cup
f. Ravenclaw's Wand
g. Harry Potter 
(Voldemort discovered during the possession at the MoM that Harry is 
a Horcrux which is why he's now using Occlumency against him, and 
wants him alive (for now). Now that DD is out of the way Voldy 
intends to transfer the Horcrux from Harry to the sword of 
Gryffindor, but Harry will get to it before him – see freestyle 
prediction #1 below.)


> Alternate 1. What are Snape's patronus and boggert? 

His patronus is a snowy owl (the bearer of information between both 
sides in the war, clever, stealthy and nocturnal).
His boggart is a Voldemort who knows that Snape is DDM, (Snape will 
have to face this, his greatest fear, at some point in DH).

> Alternate 2. What is behind the locked door at the Department of 
> Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic? 

The force of love. The door is permanently sealed and locked because 
it causes so much damage when people don't know how to handle it 
properly. Lily did not work there, nobody works there, it's 
permanently locked. 


> Freestyle (10 points each / 50 points total):

1. Voldemort's scheme in this book involves taking over Hogwarts, 
pinching Gryffindor's sword, getting the horcrux out of Harry and 
into the sword, and killing Harry. At some point, Voldemort will be 
in residence at Hogwarts, and Harry will need to use the Marauder's 
Map and his knowledge of secret passageways to sneak around without 
being caught by the DEs. Voldemort will be enraged at not being able 
to get into the headmaster's office since McGonagall is the rightful 
head, but Harry will be able to because the password is Raspberry 
Jam, or something he can guess. 

2. Harry is a Horcrux. Voldemort told Lily to step aside because he 
wanted to use Harry's death to make his Horcrux, but she wouldn't, 
and he ended up making Harry a Horcrux (unintentionally) with the 
piece of soul ripped off when he killed Lily. Snape can de-horcrux 
him, but to allow him to do so Harry must fully trust him, perhaps by 
allowing himself to be possessed by Snape. 

3. The Deathly Hallows refers to the four founders of Hogwarts, not 
their magical objects, their secret rooms in the castle, or the 
horcruxes.

4. We will find out something surprising about Hagrid before he dies.

5. The important thing we'll learn about Lily is that she forgave 
Snape for taking the prophecy to Voldemort.
