But maybe there is a reason Dumbledore won't let him have the job, even if he does seem like the perfect candidate.

I just learned that we're leaving on the 16th so I can buy the book before we leave! :D Then I can finish the book on the 12 hour trip to Minnesota.

I think if you pass the tests you should get a permit, no matter what your age. Responsibility doesn't come at a certain age. Some teens are more responsible than others. I know some people aren't responsible even when they're 30 years old. But others are responsible enough to drive at 15. I...

In Montana, they are going to move the age of a complete liscence from 15 to 18. I'm going to turn 14 in about a month. I could possibly take Drivers Training this year after school on Wednesdays but I think that will be my last chance. They're changing it next year. I was planning on taking it...

That's their problem. Simon is just telling the truth, and if they aren't mature enough to handle it, oh well. One quality that makes a person good at something (wether it be writing, sports, etc.) is the ability to take constructive criticism positively and use it to improve. And a good...

I have no idea what color I'd be.

Mine is a wolf because it is my favorite animal. My whole room is dedicated to wolves and LOTR.

I went to camp last Sunday and got back Wednesday night at midnight. The next morning at 8 I went to Rapid City, South Dakota, for a soccer tournament. I just got back yesterday, then I had to babysit all of today. So I've been pretty busy and without a computer for over a week! Tomorrow I'm...

What I meant by this was maybe Dumbledore thinks Snape will get caught up in the Dark Arts again or something by taking the position. Maybe Dumbledore thinks he will use the position for bad means with out even intending it.

Your school starts on July 18? Mine starts on August 23, or something like that.

Wow, I feel sorry for you! Those facts were awesome! They squashed a few of the rumors I've heard.

I don't think an age limit is really appropriate. I think they'd need more of a maturity limit. Once they're mature enough to read the book, they can read it. (Of course this would only hold until the child turned 18)

I thought I read somewhere in CoS that Hagrid was a Slytherin. I'm probably wrong, though. Don't know how I got that idea stuck in my head. :confused:

I can't stand it! I want the book now. I can't wait any longer! (The sad thing is, I'll be in Blaine, Minnesota when it comes out, and I live in Billings, Montana!)

That's an interesting idea. I think you could be right.

A lot of my friends are Christian, like me, and we all read the books. The reason some Christians don't like books like Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter is because they think it has to do with "satanic arts" and that even reading something about satanic arts would be against the 2nd...

I always assumed Snape was a Slytherin until reading this thread. Now I could go either ways. I think there are many things that could make him a Gryffindor, but yet the same thing goes with Slytherin. It seems pretty well decided by this group of people that he wasn't in Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff.

Dumbledore might've been a Gryffindor, but we know Hagrid was a Slytherin.

We don't need to know about Snape's childhood to know that he has issues! :D

Good point, but maybe Dumbledore distrusts Snape with the position even more than he does Umbrige. Btw, nice avatar.
