> 2.	What special circumstances about her getting Harry a broom did McGonagall share with Flitwick in your opinion?

Joey: 

Harry's naturally exceptional flying skills which need recognition and encouragement; Gryffindor's inability to find a seeker yet and necessity to find one.

> 4.	We are told that Ron and Harry do not want to go fight the troll, but feel that they have no other choice. What does this say about their characters or any characters when thought like this flashes in their minds?

Joey: 

That they are brave, reckless and caring.

> 5.	Do you believe that fighting a troll could be a good start for great friendship?

Joey: 

Depends on the people involved, IMO. For example, I'm not sure how things would have shaped up had it been Malfoy or Pansy Parkinson instead of Hermione. If I were there in the incident then yes, I think I would develop a strong bond with the other person.

> 
> 6.	When Ron hears Hermione scream after she is locked in with the Troll, he is described turning "pale as the Bloody Baron". What if anything does it mean to you?

Joey: 

That he is a kind-hearted kid.

> 
> Zara's question:
> 7.	We now know Snape agreed to help Dumbledore protect *Harry*. What, in your opinion, explains his extra efforts to protect the Philosopher's Stone, as in  this chapter, when he sees through Quirrell's ruse and checks on the third-floor corridor rather than going into the dungeons with the other teachers?
> 

Joey: 

His commitment to his word and his alert mind.

Nice questions!

Cheers,
~Joey :-)
