[the_old_crowd] Side apparating to Grimmauld Place (was Re: Conflicts, cheats and credibility

[Tim Regan]

Hi All.

Jo replied to my rambling thoughts about the logical inconsistencies of
Snape's tongue tied curse that Dung pointed out:

>>> Snape is tongue tied so someone says 'just take me there' and Snape
shakes his head, no need for explanations just assume it's another booby
trap <<<

Sorry Jo I don't understand. 

N.B. How often have I thought that sentence recently ;-)

Are you saying that the tongue tie curse means that Snape needn't take the
Death Eaters to Grimmauld Place since he can feign the inability to explain
the extent of the curse? If so I agree, but only from Snape's perspective.
As far as the Order know he is evil, and would have no desire to feign an
inability to apparate there. They need a curse that prevents Snape
apparating onto the front doorstep with Death Eaters in tow and I just
cannot see what makes them think that the tongue tie curse does the job?

Cheers,

Dumbledad.
