Thoughts on Order of the Phoenix *Spoilers*

[The Drunkard Kid]

Considering that that room was called the "Room of Death", I think we're supposed to assume that Sirius was punted head first into the afterlife, which is probably very ill equipped to deal with people that still need to breathe...

As for Quirrel, Lockheart and Moody, well the first already had the job before he was taken over by Voldemort, IIRC. The second was the *only* person that was applying for the job, and the course was too important to Dumbledore to just cancel. The last actually did a perfect job of pretending to be Moody, and all his inconsistencies were in front of people that wouldn't mention that he'd done it, either because they had no reason to suspect him (Harry, Dobby, MacGongall), or because they were too scared to piss him off (Snape).

And I for one *loved* any scene that had MacGongall and Umbridge talking to one another.
