Snape killed Crouch Snr

Hi All,

I know he didn't really, but a friend at work is rereading the books and
just pointed out this teasingly lovely juxtaposition:

1) In DH Chapter 30 "The Sacking of Severus Snape" Snape is forced out of
Hogwarts by McGonagall, Flitwick, and Sprout thus:
>>>
With a tingle of horror, Harry saw in the distance a huge bat-like shape
flying through the darkness towards the perimeter wall.
<<<

2. Back in GoF Chapter 29 "The Dream" the trio are discussing the murder of
Barty Crouch Snr:
>>>
"If Snape hadn't held me up," Harry said bitterly, "we might've got there in
time. 'The headmaster is busy. Potter . . . what's this rubbish, Potter?'
Why couldn't he have just got out of the way?"

"Maybe he didn't want you to get there!" said Ron quickly. "Maybe - hang on
- how fast d'you reckon he could've gotten down to the forest? D'you reckon
he could've beaten you and Dumbledore there?"

"Not unless he can turn himself into a bat or something," said Harry.
<<<

So he can!

Cheers,

Dumbledad.
