I was answering a different thread on the tasks and I thought of something strange, that i had never thought of before.
Snape's task on the way to the Stone, is a logic riddle, and they have to work out which bottle to drink from to advance through the black flames. However, the bottle Harry needed to drink from to advance onwards was the smallest one, and barely had enough for a mouthful and we are told that Harry drained it. But my problem is: if that bottle was full when Harry drank from it, how did Quirrell get through? We know he had to complete all of the other tasks from the clues left behind - a harp in Fluffy's chamber, the key with the bent wing in the key chamber, the knocked out Troll, so why was the potion left for Harry instead of an empty bottle? I only thought about this a short time ago, but it has been bugging me ever since....can anyone think of a resonable explaination for it? -------------------- *My name is Jean Valjean! * And I'm Javert. Do not forget me 24601! Long live Les Mis!   Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon, doesn't mean we all have!--Hermione |
