>Snape's shrewd and calculating look may indicate Snape trying to  
figure out what Dumbledore is up to, rather than Harry. Did  
Dumbledore expect this, and is he therefore deliberately trying to  
throw suspicion on Harry, perhaps to make the real Heir careless, or  
to divert suspicion from more vulnerable people like Hagrid?



If anyone looks at canon in any sort of rational way, Bumbles is the  
worst sort of wizard. Whether Bumbles or Snivellus taught  
Serpentsorsia (sp) to Draco, that person endangered the students. If  
Bumbles, then it follows his desire to keep Harry marginalized and as friendless as possible. If Snivellus, there should be some public  
punishment for the man for endangering the students and teaching dark 
magic.

Bumbles brings Dark Lord bait into a school with absolutely minimal  
protection. Bumbles and Snivellus mind rape students, but can't  
detect possessed or polyjuiced teachers?
When the first creature was petrified, any real administrator would  
close the school. There is no indication that Bumbles has any real checks and balances and he surrounds himself with people who worship the mighty GOD Bumbles.

Finally, how did Bumbles keep the WW from finding out what was  
happening at Hoggy every year? The students just decided en-mass to  
not report anything? The parents simply don't care what happens to  
their children? Bumbles Obliviated everyone?

I don't require all plot holes to be filled, just can't see how  
anyone can have any respect for Bumbles, Snivellus, Molly, Arthur, or any member of the OotP who was on "guard" duty at #4.
