1) Do you think, considering that Harry is usually wrong about Professor Snape,
that the 'Neville's boggart' story is why Snape seems so tense and angry these
days?

Alla:

Well considering that I believe that Harry is usually right about Professor Snape at least as many times if not througout the book as he is wrong definitely I think Snape is angry because of "Neville's boggart" because he has a huge ego and has no idea how liberating it could be to laugh at oneself sometimes.

2) Do you think Hagrid could have sought or accepted advice about teaching, and
who from?

Alla:

I would say that he should have been given advice and if he would have been given the advice he would have accepted it, I do not see Hagrid seeking it out on his own simply because he would have been too shy and nervous about it IMO. I definitely think Dumbledore should have helped him.


3)How do you imagine Hermione survived all those years in the girls' dorms?

Alla:

I am not sure I quite understand this question. Could you clarify whether you mean that girls were giving her a hard time or you mean something else?

I think that we had been shown more than once that Hermione can handle herself very well and stand up against anybody (more than necessary sometimes if you ask me).

4) What did you make of the interactions between Lupin and Snape?

Alla:

That they really loved each other ;)

5) Is Lupin's idea that Harry's boggart might be Lord Voldemort reasonable,
considering Harry was just over a year old when he saw him?

Alla:

I would say no based on my childhood memories (the first time I can remember anything was when I was about three, I do not remember anything from my early years lol), but if Harry can dream aboput green light and motorcycle apparently he can remember his earlier years so I guess why not.

6) Do you think Peeves might have had an amicable relationship with the
Marauders, as later it's apparent he has with the Weasley twins, and might he
have been present when Sirius was in the castle?


Alla:

Quite likely in my opinion.

Thanks for the great questions AmanitaMuscaria.
