Sarah:

That's exactly what I think Snape is doing.  Or in other words, it 
is a trick question.  The question is how to tell the difference.  
If one was transparent and one wasn't, that would probably be my 
first tip-off.  So I think Harry is answering the question 
accurately and to the point.  There might be many more ways to tell 
the difference, but the most readily apparent would probably be the 
transparency.

If Harry had read between the lines of the question and perceived 
that he was supposed to discuss the different natures of the 
Inferius and the ghost, how they get created, etc. Snape could have 
given him a hard time about not answering the actual question 
asked.  There is no right answer.
