Luna Longbottom

Professor Longbottom,

How are you?

There are a lot of questions that I want to ask to you, but most burning one is Why you didn’t marry/ propose Luna . You both were like most natural couple in Hogwarts even though it was not official.

Begrudged Beater

Dear Mr. Weasley,

First off, I would like to say, you are my favourite wizard of all time, and I guess I could say you are my role model.

Now here is my sticky situation. I play Beater for Ravenclaw at Hogwarts, and so does my best friend who is Slytherin (but she is the good sort of Slytherin). She has been playing Quidditch even before she came to Hogwarts, where I have only been playing for 2-3 years. I am starting to catch up to her, and I am becoming an even better Quidditch player than her. I am starting to realize that she is threatened by me. She treats me like dragon dung, and I sick and tired of it. As you have been in the jealous BFF (a Muggle phrase meaning Best Friend Forever) position before, I thought it would be ideal to seek your advice. Is there anyway of fixing our friendship, or will she hate me forever?

The Cattermoles

Dear Harry Potter,

What happened to the Cattermoles? In DH Ron impersonates Reg Cattermole and we never find out if him and his family get out of the country without capture… What about the other Muggleborns that left with Harry? And what happened to Mafalda Hopkirk (The women Hermione was impersonating) and Albert Runcorn (impersonated by Harry)? Where they punished for the breach of security?

Deathly Hallows

Dear Mr. Potter,

I am a big fan of your work. You’re a brilliant wizard. When I watched Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows there was one question that popped into my head. Seeing that Dumbledore had the elder wand and the resurrection stone was in the snitch, where was the cloak of invisibility? Now in your second year at Hogwarts you received an invisibility cloak that belonged to your dad. Was that cloak the third deathly hallow, the actual cloak of invisibility shed from Death’s own cloak?

Ambitious Young Slytherin

Dear Professor Snape,

I was wondering if you had any advice for an ambitious young Slytherin. I plan on going into the highly competitive field of performing arts, and all of the competition and backstabbing can be insanely irritating after a hard day of work. Does the fact that I already have an intolerance for the divas in my field mean that I have chosen a path that is not quite right for my sensibilities, or should I stay on my path?

Teacher of Muggles

Dear Dear Esteemed Colleague Severus Snape,

I hope that this will not be too political or controversial, but I am a teacher in the UK just like yourself. Recently we once again went through the OFSTED procedure to check upon our school and to rate it.

I was not a teacher and had never been through this process before when I first learned of the events that happened in Order of the Phoenix, with the Ministry taking over and ruling Hogwarts and that appalling Delores Umbridge thinking she knew something about teaching and making useless decisions that were detrimental left right and centre. I have now been through it twice and now know how close to an actual teacher’s school experience during OFSTED it is.

My question is this, what were your techniques to survive this imposition of inquisition (Other than abusing students with books, which I’m sure during a muggle inspection would have your school put in ‘special measures’, but Umbridge seems to approve, I think), and does Hogwarts still periodically find itself subjected to Ministry interference of this kind?

(Also, can you please swap potions for Chemistry or Food Tech and come and teach at my school? Please?)

A Proud Slytherin

Dear Professor Snape,

I have been sorted into Slytherin, and I am very proud of this fact. I would like to become the very best witch I can. However, people keep saying that all Slytherin’s are evil, and there is no use trying to be different. I can’t believe that’s true! Everyone knows that you were a great Slytherin who did great good, and there must be more. Why is it that only the ignoble and bad Slytherins are remembered, while only the good Gryffindors are?

Muggles and Muggleborns

Dear Professor Snape,

I have two questions.

What do you honestly think about muggles and muggle-borns? I know you were in love with Lily, and I know that this is truly none of my business, but I can’t help but be curious.

My second question is which potion do you most like to brew? A was never very good at potions myself, but I’ve always wanted to be.
