Jen:  I couldn't decide the answer for this one.  The Draught isn't a 
poison so I discarded the bezoar (although that may well be the 
answer) but there must be some way to awaken the person.  I ended up 
marking 'phoenix tears' on the very slim chance this was some kind of 
prediction for DH.;) Not Dumbledore but another character.

> Sandy:
> I put no cure for werewolves because there is none.

Jen:  The question was worded as what plant, spell or ? 
would 'conquer' the beast, potion or plant (can't remember exact 
wording) so I decided on Aconite as an ingredient in Wolfsbane 
because it conquers the werewolf inside and allows the person to 
retain their normal human conciousness.  I figured Expecto Patronum 
fights off but doesn't extinguish a Dementor so the same logic would 
hold true when asking about the werewolf part of an individual.

Jen:  I thought the answers needed to be different so I marked 
sunlight for Devil's Snare too, since Hermione said they didn't like 
the 'dark and damp'.  Fire for the Inferi, yes.  What were the others 
in this section?  

As for other questions, anyone think there are future implications 
for 'Occlumency guarding against possession' being false?  I hope 
not - my ambivalence about Snape doesn't extend to wishing to see him 
or anyone possessed (not even Umbridge!).  At least I *think* that 
one was false because it came in the same section as a curse being 
stronger than a hex and a hex stronger than a jinx.  

Oh, and I expect that Scotland will turn out to be the biggest 
offender against the Statute of Secrecy as a JKR joke.
