Harry has definately spelled out the realities to Dumbles and company; but frankly I think the revolution is in progress and nothing will stop it even if they expell 3/4's of the school. As for the toad, I hope the bits didn't land on an innocent person when she had her fatal "accident". I wonder if Snape will last the year? Eventually he's going to slip, and though he might avoid Harry and the others he'll search for some target. Perhaps Harry's class and the 5th and 6th years will start considering transfers, and look into tutoring for the younger students until they could do the same. As always Dr. T you've written a thoughtful and interesting swtory. :)
