Quotes
-
Gilderoy Lockhart : Let's have a volunteer pair. Potter, Weasley, how about you?
Professor Snape : Weasley's wand causes devastation with the simplest spells. We'll be sending Potter to the hospital wing in a matchbox.
-
[after the attack on Mrs. Norris]
Professor Snape : If I might, Headmaster. Perhaps Potter and his friends were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, the circumstances are suspicious. I, for one, don't recall seeing Potter at dinner.
Gilderoy Lockhart : I'm afraid that's my doing, Severus. You see, Harry was helping me answer my fan mail.
-
Professor Snape : You were seen. By no less than seven Muggles! Do you have any idea how serious this is? You have risked the exposure of our world! Not to mention the damage you inflicted on a Whomping Willow that's been on these grounds since before you were born!
Ron : Honestly, Professor Snape, I think it did more damage to us.
Professor Snape : Silence! I assure you that were you in Slytherin and your fate rested with me, the both of you would be on the train home tonight!

[Harry and Ron are in Snape's office; Snape shows them an article in the Daily Prophet about the Ford Anglia flying over London]
Professor Snape : [furiously] You were seen by no less than seven Muggles!
[throws the paper aside]
Professor Snape : Do you have any idea how serious this is? You have risked the exposure of our world! Not to mention the damage you inflicted on a Whomping Willow that's been on these grounds since before you were born!
Ron : Honestly, Professor Snape, I think it did more damage to us.
Professor Snape : Silence!
[Harry and Ron stare in horror as Snape stands up and looks them in the eye]
Professor Snape : I assure you that were you in Slytherin and your fate rested with me, the both of you would be on the train home tonight! As it is...
Dumbledore : They are not.
[Snape, Harry, Ron and Filch turn to see Dumbledore and McGonagall standing in the doorway]
Harry : Professor Dumbledore. Professor McGonagall.
Professor Snape : Headmaster.
[points to Harry and Ron]
Professor Snape : These boys have flouted the Decree for the Restriction of Under Age Wizardry. As such...
Dumbledore : I am well aware of our bylaws, Severus, having written quite a few of them myself. However, as head of Gryffindor House, it is for Professor McGonagall to determine the appropriate action.
Ron : [sadly] We'll go and get our stuff, then.
Professor Minerva McGonagall : What are you talking about, Mr. Weasley?
Ron : You're going to expell us, aren't you?
Professor Minerva McGonagall : Not today, Mr. Weasley.
[Harry and Ron look at each other happily]
Professor Minerva McGonagall : But I must impress on both of you the seriousness of what you have done. I will be writing to your families tonight, and you will both receive detention.
[Harry and Ron are downcast; they turn to Snape, who glares at them]
