Geoff:
So do I on things alchemical which is precisely why Snape wouldn't 
do that. He may be a pain in the backside but he does present his
instructions clearly, methodically and thoroughly. Otherwise I 
suspect that the number of melted cauldrons etc. would rise 
exponentially and, incidentally, in inverse proportion to the number 
of top passes at OWL and NEWT levels.
