Ugh, that was a horrible scene. I mean, sure, give points if you have to (which begs the point, why are you rewarding students for risking their lives? It's not the sort of behaviour a responsible adult should encourage...oh, wait, a responsible adult wouldn't have hidden the Philosopher's Stone in a school and then told everyone where it was on the first night. Yeesh!) but do it before the feast and don't just snatch away another House's triumph after you've already put the decorations up for them. It's completely demoralising. Makes you wonder what Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff thought of that spectacle, and how unpopular Harry&Co were behind the scenes.
Yeah, my private tutoring worked out roughly at three hours per one hour lesson too. You're a teacher/tutor too? What's your subject?
Along with Potions, Charms, Herbology, Defence...all the core subjects, all of which have one, poor teacher for all seven years.
I feel like we've created something beautiful <3 It does explain Hermione. I can imagine some of the teachers objecting to her getting one, though - it can't be good for you to use it constantly. All those extra hours would add up.
There's nothing to say there isn't ;)
It could be something along the lines of the old soulmate myth (not necessarily romantic), where individual souls were divided between two bodies. So Harry could literally be Voldemort's other half - his cosmic twin born fifty years too late. (Could the Weasley twins, who seem to be able to communicate non-verbally, have something similar?)
