I personally agree with Warlocke if Hermione was suffering external dammage JKR would have surely mentioned it. Now these are the questions people should be asking her in interviews. ie "WHY THE FUCK WASN'T HERMIONE HARMED EXTERMALLY?" <-to JKR during an intense interview. Oh JKR how you confuse us so.

 

Remind me, is that the one where she tore her shirt off and then broke down sobbing on Harry about being horribly scarred for life just before an adult walks into the room?

Edit: Fixed mis-spellings

 

If I remember right, and I could be wrong, I think when "Harry approached Malfoy in horror of what he'd done" (or something like that) He watched as Snape "slowed" the blood flow not healed him outright. I think he rushed him off to the hospital wing or something thereafter.

Granted, I only read HBP one and a half times so I may have my facts messed up and I don't have my copy handy at the moment. Can anyone check that out?

I frankly cheered throughout the scene until Harry got all emo about it. Too bad Snape was there.

 

Snape performed the counter curse 3 times: the first time, the bleedling slowed, the second, the skin started to knit together, and we're not told what happened on the last but judging by the previous trend I'd say it closed the wound completely. He then went to the hospital wing so as to not recieve scarring.

 

Ah, thank you for clarifying. The only thing that stood out for me was the blood flow portion. I don't think I wouldn't agree with the scarring portion for the exact reason of "George's ear." We already have evidence that particular curse is not one that can be countered properly. But perhaps it was to further close the wound or maybe there was a leak.

Can't you picture it. Snape is kneeling there and a little fountain of blood spurts up in the air about three feet. He counter-curses, then another fountain of blood, he counter-curses, then another ... well you get the idea.

I think it would have made for better drama -- or comedy, whichever you prefer. I know I would have laughed.

Oh, oh, or maybe Dumbledore runs up there and from eight feet away another squirt arcs high and wide to leave a nice red trail down his robes. Snape counter-curses.

What do you think ... too "three stooges?" :banana:

Snape specifically said that if they put Dittany on it then it might not scar.

 

There's also the fact that we're holding up different types of injuries. Whereas George was struck in a relatively vulnerable place, one that would easily be severed, Hermione and Malfoy were both hit in the chest, which might take a considerably more potent curse to server or separate. In such a case, maybe certain areas of the body are more susceptible to certain curses and the healing required, or my preferred thinking, which is that because only relatively partial damage can be done to the torso, it is more easily healed than perhaps an amputation, such as George or Moody's case, would be irreparable.

 

Or, you know, maybe it's simply more inconsistent nonsense from JKR, since she wouldn't know continuity if it bit clean through her mega-rich arse. :mrgreen:

 

I don't know if I'd go that far, but there are some glaring inconsistencies in her stories. I've seen some highly paid and well known authors be much much worse. But for the popularity of this series you'd think there would be someone on her staff that does something other than say "OMG Jo, it's perfect!"

Hell, it's not like her or her publisher can't afford to pay off a dozen fanboys to sift through page after page and say "Hey, how come ..."

What I want to know is what the hell happened to Moody to have him as screwed up as he is ... I mean if all he had to do was rub a little Dittany on it. If I was an Auror I'd sure as hell be carrying a jar of that around ... whatever it is ... unless it's like a nice word for elephant cum or something.

Of course Snape never shared the counter....it's his fucking creation. He created this dangerous dark spell that slices very nicely. If he told people the counter curse than it reduces the effect of the curse by a lot. Also his ego probably got in the way as well. If he's the only one who knows the cure for that curse it makes your enemies think twice before attacking you. And he did what he wanted...took the secret of the counter curse to his grave.

 

And yet, you'd think he'd tell the Order the to counter it.

Also, there's no conclusive proof that Snape invented the Sectumsempra. We know he invented Levicorpus because we can see the process of spell-creation: the crossed out incantations. There is no such thing for the Sectumsempra, so he may have found it in a book and written it down.

Evidence for the fact that he dd invent it would be the fact that he alone seems to know the counter and his extreme familiarity with the spell.

Evidence against this would be that other characters (e.g. Kingsley) know of the spell, and yet since Snape hasn't told them his conter it's rather unlikely that they learnt it from him.

 

I was always under the impression that not many knew that Snape invented it, that he just knew the counter from being a DE. Kingsley and others would know of it from their encounters. Surely the recent struggles were not the first time that Spell was used against the order.

And he didn't tell the Order the counter because we're back to his pride. Why would Snape in all his ego share a task when he could do it for you?
And as long as the Order got the Sectusempra from other DE's he can play it off like he knows of the spell and not that he created it. Perfectly Slytherin if you ask me.

 

I'm going to post something to the first post here. I would have rather hoped Granger couldn't reproduce, then she couldn't disease the rest of the gene pool with her personality, because you know what she'd be like with effing kids. I wouldn't let her near my kids if I had any.

 

Yes you would, 'cause you'd use your kid as a way to get closer to her - and in her pants. She'll grow up to be a closet freak with huge tits and wavy, tame curls. It's true.

 

why would I even want to get into her pants? She's fugly.

 

/me facepalms.

She's a fictional character. She's as pretty or as ugly as you imagine her to be. But if we want to go by canon, she's averagely pretty - not a stunner (except when she spends a few hours making herself look that with magic), but not ugly either.

 

We can surmise from her bushy hair that she has a hairy pussy, which is hawt. Emma Watson backs up this assertion with her recent upskirt pics.

That's fucked up. And I wasn't aware that Emma Watson had any upskirt pics.

 

You must be new to the internet, here, have a look at goatse... It's the only reasonable explanation I have for you not knowing that.

 

You fucking asshole.
