Question Snape and logic post #1  quote:



I was just thinking- In The Sorcerer's Stone, Hermione says that most wizards wouldn't be able to solve the obstacle Snape made to protect it because most wizards don't need to use logic. So why exactly is Snape logical enough to think of something like that as well as make it? How did he end up that way? My brains are fried right now from finals, so I'm relying on ya'll to put the pieces together. Help?

Potion making is a science. Science requires logic. Snape is a master potion maker so he is very logical.

My first Science theory.

Oh, and lets face it, Snape is not busy dating or hanging out with friends is he.

That's right... Snape knows potions. He wouldn't be a professor over potions if he didn't.

In the book, there are 7 vials of potions laid out on a table. There is a riddle that they have to figure out to get to the next room. So, they could have drank poison.
