2. Is Harry correct that Snape made up the rule about no books outside school
on the spot? Or do you believe it truly was a Hogwarts rule? Is this yet
another example of Snape picking on Harry unfairly, or is it yet another example
of the trio assuming negative things about Snape unfairly?


Alla:

Squeeee, I will answer your other questions tomorrow, although I am sure you know my opinion on this one hehe.

These are the little things which make me hate Severus Snape's character so very much, despite his heroics against Voldemort. I will never ever buy the idea that Hogwarts had such rule for two reasons. Hermione can be trusted with the facts, right? Din't JKR say that if she needed to explain something she gives it to Dumbledore or Hermione?

And of course I find this "rule" to be just plain absurd and interestingly usually Hogwarts rules do have some reasons behind it, no?

This to me is just such a petty low sadism, sucking a joy out of students sitting and **reading** outside. If he was a normal teacher should not he had been pleased that his student is actually reading?

OMG, sorry, but this is one of the two accidents in the first book which makes me so so angry. It is definitely the little things, go figure.

JMO,
