Potioncat:
The first step was covered by the FC. So no one would see Lupin or 
the Trio there. I think the step is visible. Have we determined that 
the house itself is invisible to the DEs?

Potioncat:
I think it may have intensified her negative feelings; given her the 
determination to get rid of the Muggleborns? It was more in tune with 
her than with Ron, for example. If it can make a basically good 
person react so strongly to negative feelings, I would think it would 
do the same for someone who already worked on Dark thoughts.

Potioncat:
I wish we had seen more too. There were so many things he wasn't able 
to prevent, it would have been interesting to see what he was doing. 
And I would have liked to see the Slughorn dynamic as well. I think 
he was alternating between being Snape's man and one of the gang.

Potioncat:
I thought it was combined House-Elf magic and kitchen magic. The 
house had been equiped to feed the Order members not so long ago.
