How does McGonagall’s attentiveness, which makes her a great teacher, compare with Slughorn’s incentivizing students to achieve their best work yet? Do less successful teachers (cough, Trelawney, cough, Snape) have something to learn from other teaching styles?
Does the arrangement between Firenze and Trelawney to both teach Divination make sense?
Was Snape really going to attack Harry? (All signs point to yes!)
Crackpot Theory: Is Snape only being as awful as ever to Harry because Malfoy, now a Death Eater, is watching?
Is Horace Slughorn... a good teacher?! His first lesson seems amazing. What would he be like with younger students?
What are the pros and cons of Harry coming clean, and is what he chooses to do ethical? Is Hermione or Ginny closer to being right?
Connections between this chapter and books 2 and 1 are plentiful! We discuss all the ones we found.
MVP: Top sassy Harry lines that AREN’T “There’s no need to call me sir, professor.”
Lynx Line: Have you ever had a school subject that you loved be taught by someone that you didn’t? How did it go?
