^^ Yes, there\'s a LOT of idiotic moments going on there, I think expecting too much of the characters is kind of silly. Even plenty of readers, experiencing the event in a much shorter timespan and having the LawOfConservationOfDetail on their side, didn\'t see the twist coming. I mean, we know the Polyjuice Potion was plot relevant because it wouldn\'t be mentioned otherwise, but as far as Snape\'s concerned it could just be kids who want to see [[shapeshiftersDoItForAChange experimenting]].

Incidentally, how has the magic behind the Marauder\\\'s Map not been put to greater use? It\\\'s a piece of magic made by four kids (none of whom seemed to be horribly exceptional wizards) that can beat Polyjuice Potion, Invisibility Cloaks, Animagi, probably other things I haven\\\'t thought of. Given 2/4 of the makers are in the Order of the Phoenix, you\\\'d think that they\\\'d manage to replicate that.
