Potioncat:
Perhaps because we spent so little time at Hogwarts during DH, I was 
thinking of Snape's office that he used as Potion Master and DADA 
instructor. I'd forgotten that his office has been the Headmaster's 
office. Although I imagine his old one was not turned over to Carrow. 
So there's likely two offices of material.

As you pointed out, his DADA term ended abruptly, as did his year as 
Headmaster. So I'm sure he was very careful at what he left there. 
Taking some time to clear out anything questionable. But your idea of 
notes on new spells is a good one.

I left the one sentence above because I couldn't really pinpoint a 
section to resond to, and I fell in love with the word marginalia. Oh 
what a perfect word. Just to be sure, I looked it up to see if you made 
it up, but no. It's been around for a while. Are you familiar with it 
because you taught or because you edit? Can't wait to use it and make 
my kids roll their eyes.
