<4. Do you think it was really necessary for Professor McGonagall to  
stay a cat
all day?

Why does Bumbles seem surprised to see McG? Why was McG there unless  
Bumbles told her? Why is McG always such a Bumble sycophant, even  
knowing how bad the Dursleys are? Why does McG not question Bumble's  
kidnapping of Harry and dropping him off on a doorstep at midnight in  
November? Why doesn't McG ask if Pomphrey has examined Harry? Why  
does Sirius actually bow down to Bumbles and let Hagrid take him? Why  
doesn't anyone show Harry any compassion rather than simply kissing  
and licking Bumble's bony little ass?
Right from this point, I always distrusted Bumbles and considered him  
either evil or suffering dementia? Of course, almost all "Merlin- 
like" characters seem to do the stupidest things and get innocents  
involved in things they need not.
