Yes, I have the ones LS did, one set of Angelflame's, Gryffindor's and Hobbit Dude should hopefully send me his when he comes on. I'm just going to post them all together when I get them all - but if it takes too long I'll just post the ones I have and let those who have the rest post them when they come online.

And DON'T reply to this! This is just an update, not a lighter to spark another arguement.
THE INTER-HOUSE CHALLENGE THREADS ARE BEING REOPENED WITH A 'NO-GRUDGE' POLICY - NO ONE IS TO TRY TO BLAME ANYONE FOR WHAT HAPPENED. IF A PROBLEM THIS HUGE HAPPENS AGAIN, THE THREADS WILL HAVE TO BE CLOSED AND MOVED TO UNHOSTED, WHERE YOU WILL HAVE TO GET USHGARAK'S PERMISSION BEFORE THEY WILL BE REOPENED.
I'm sorry but I just can't have arguments escalate this much in the HP Forum, it takes over the threads as it is the only topic anyone will discuss, and it creates huge dissentions between people. I will try to keep a closer eye on the challenge threads, so it cannot happen again.
Also, I ask you not to ban Raven Guardia from the game. Demote her from being a judge if you will, but if you want to ban someone from something in this Forum, you will need permission from me first. I cannot see that Raven has done anything wrong that several other members have also done. If you try to ban Raven Guardia from the game, then you will have to ban everyone else who acted innappropriately.

Being a former Death Eater and current not so likeable and seemingly anti-Harry person who is also apt in potions and dark arts, his presence might be a kind of 'compromise' that Dumbledore secretly keeps in order to keep the people who are still Death Eaters 'happy' - not in league with them of course, but if DD was to make Snape DADA teacher it might threaten that security and the Death Eater families might think Snape is against them by teaching students techniques to defend themselves against them, particularly Harry.

Comments:
+ Very original! Looks like a lof of research was put into this. It was nice that you did something out of the ordinary and included events from before snape was a teacher after voldemort fell out of power.
-Spelling and punctuation errors
-/+ I do not know whether Professor Irog is fact or fiction, but if the ashrag charm was performed on him, wouldn't it also be performed on Snape? You said that Irog was found dead in his DADA office...so what would be holding Voldemort back from killing Snape in his Potions office if Voldemort was able to get into Hogwarts before, even under Albus' nose? Snape betrayed Voldemort, so wouldn't Voldemort still want to kill him as well?
Overall: Well written! A lot of effort was put into a satisfactory essay. Punctuational and grammatical errors were kept to a minimum, and your insight into the topic was extremely evident. I like how you included events before snape became a teacher. That was very creative, and something that set your houses' essay apart from the rest

My main concern with this entry wasn't much visible evidence of research. Next to each ingrediant it said what they were for but I still didn't know why they were really used or how those traits were connected to them. E.g. Hippogriff's nails were used for a strong relationship, definitely interesting but why is that or how did you know it? I then realised it's probably because like swans hippogriffs mate for life but the point is, even though that might be true it doesn't count because what if I didn't know that - it's like an exam, the examiner shouldn't have to think about it and you have to assume they know nothing so it's good to explain everything. But anyway, other then that it really made up for it in originality - there were parts that were really amusing, surprising and stood out. Also, the bit about the lemon juice, I wouldn't have thought of that because it is bitter - so that was creative 🙂

Fascinating, I was compelled because I hadn't heard of any of this before. It looks like you deinitely did your research and if it really is historical 'fact' for Hogwarts then I think it's very plausible because if true then there's little room for speculation and would make sense from DD's view. Most of it sounds like fact except the bit about DD suspecting what Voldy had done - that bit I'm not sure is from research or from your own ideas. Since most of it seems like research I'm not sure exactly how creative it is - how much of it you came up with yourselves but it was original and different from the other Houses. Grammar/Spelling - 5 mistakes I saw (mispellings of: Professor x2, Performed, Concerning and Phoenix) but it was still clear.

It's obvious alot of research went into this and the only thing I wasn't sure of was the Raven feathers seeing as they were intelligence not health but then I saw it was specifically for Ravenclaws but would still work to a lesser degree for others which was nice touch. I also loved the complex method, it reminded me of a ritual or ceremonial task and then the practical foresight of making enough for supplements which is a good idea for all health related potions/medicines. Listing the equipment was good, it was clear and the pre-reqs fulfilled.

It was plausible because you logically based your theory on a well known reputation the DADA position has and gave a step by step explanation of each teacher. However, it is only a reputation/rumoured 'curse' - what if all those unfortunate incidents were coincedence? I also liked how you gave examples from the books of how Snape helped Harry but all in all it seems lacking. Most of it comes straight from the books and doesn't seem very original. I think it could have been taken abit further addressing the problem that it only makes sense if the curse is real or what if Snape was just being helpful because he was obliged to? Spelling - I found 10 mistakes (mispellings of: Thought was written instead of Though, Phoenix, Defence x3, Possession, Professor x2, Memory and Moment) and the grammar made it difficult to read due to ill constructed sentences and little things like 'whats' instead of 'what's'. Plus the tenses kept switching but I did at least understand what you were saying.

Very, very interesting potion. Even the ingrediants were interesting in that it took so many to prepare the user and one to do the deed, also, using mint as a catalyst was a good idea. All in all the ingrediants were there, the reasons why they were used and the directions were clear & made sense especially with the phases of the moon. My only concern was with the outcome and side effects. For example with the outcome, it all kind of assumed everything would go to plan - but I thought with the specification of the user's state of mind and having to find one's true desire and connect with one self on a deeper level that it opened the door to the possibility of doing all that and actually realising that the object of this potion might not be the desire, or there might be a conflict of desires and that option wasn't explored. Plus this type of potion and magic in general I think has many possible consequences regardless of whether one's intentions are 'good' or 'bad' i.e. in essence it's still black magic because it involved killing, body parts, blood and the desire to take over someone/thing that else which isn't you and hence not your right to interfere with at least not without consent. That makes this spell dangerous as well as the sheer energy involved which should technically lead to physical side effects for the user e.g. physical exhaustion or a mental 'down' after such a strong induced 'high' and numerous other things. But luckily the pre-reqs are only 2 marks 🙂.

This was a straightforward theory and well done because I could picture DD using the first two points as a basis for his concern. I can imagine DD considering them being the wise judge of characer he usually is - prevention is better then cure. The third point - Snape being an excellent Potions teacher and more vital in that position in comparison to DADA I think is a very plausible reason too although why 'common people' would know more about DADA wasn't explained, rather was just stated so I don't know how much that supports the argument because there's no stated as to whether they would really know more it or not. I thought it was original because it seems all the ideas are your own. Spelling mistakes - only 1 (mispelling of: Defence - I realise we're going to have to talk about this 😉 ), excellent grammar and it made sense.
