Re: 4 anti-Dementor lessons instead of 12
Just a thought:::But if you put in to thought the fact that He is working for the Order, and could possibly have other business to attend to. I mean, the Order wasn't formed recently. It's been banded for at least 20 years, and I don't think they just stop working towards the cause. They're too informed. So if you put that, The work that is naturally required of a teacher in general, and bouts of werewolfism into effect, he could have only had time to squeeze in 4. And also, you have to think about Harry's Schedule to. I mean, with homework and Quidditch practice, he's also a pretty busy kid. I think it's perfectly plausible.::TMS::.


 * While that is an interesting thought, against this we have to put in Dumbledore's instructions to Sirius at the end of GoF: "Round up the old crew: Remus Lupin, Arabella Figg, Mundungus Fletcher..." which, at least to me, would indicate that the Order has been, if not disbanded, at least recessed for the thirteen years since Voldy went poof. The bouts of werewolfism would knock out three of them, one per month, to leave us about 10, and there is no mention of either Remus or Harry missing days. Plus I am going to argue that Harry is a lazy student; given a choice between real wand work 1-on-1 with Lupin, or homework, I think the homework would be abandoned every time, and we do see that behaviour in other parts of the series. So while I agree that 4 is a possible count of lessons, I think it less likely than this editor; and I think that if JKR had not lost track of time, she would either have mentioned that more than half of them were missed for some reason or other, or would have had more unsucessful lessons in the story.

 * I'm sorry, I don't understand. Could you try asking the question again, perhaps in different words? Chazz (talk) 01:56, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
