Nicolas Flamel, and connections, in GP; plus some small tidying

That evening, Harry decides to ask Snape to return the book. Hoping to catch him with other teachers so as to defuse his anger, he peers inside the staff room. There he sees Snape with a bad leg wound, being tended by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Argus Filch|Filch]], and talking about something with three heads that apparently injured him. Snape notices Harry and, enraged, orders him out. Harry, Ron, and Hermione jointly concur that his injury was caused by the three-headed dog in the forbidden third-floor corridor, but only Hermione doubts that Snape would attempt to steal anything. Both Harry and Ron are convinced he would.
 
The following morning is Harry's first Quidditch match, which is against [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Slytherin House|Slytherin]]. The match proceeds well, until Harry's broom starts acting strangely, apparently trying to buck him off. Hermione notices that Professor Snape is staring fixedly at Harry and muttering, and concludes he is jinxing it. To stop it, she runs across the stands, knocking [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Professor Quirrell|Professor Quirrell]] over in the process, and sets Snape's robes on fire, thus breaking his concentration. Slytherin scores five times while everyone is distracted by Harry and his cursed broom. Regaining control, Harry dives for the pitch, in the process running into and nearly swallowing the Snitch, and winning the match.
 
After the match, Harry, Ron, and Hermione discuss recent events with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] in his hut. Hagrid voices disbelief that Snape would jinx Harry's broom. Harry mentions that Snape had apparently run afoul of the three-headed dog, which Hagrid accidentally identifies as "Fluffy". Hagrid later mentions that whatever he is guarding, "that's between [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Professor Dumbledore]] an' Nicolas Flamel —", thus accidentally providing another clue to what the object being guarded is.

The rivalry between Slytherin and Gryffindor becomes a metaphor for themes of good vs. evil in the series and the battle that is to come, as Wizards either align themselves with [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Voldemort]] or choose to fight him and his [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Death Eaters|Death Eaters]]. While Gryffindor represents Voldemort's opponents and Slytherin his followers (perhaps including Snape), both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff Houses symbolize how many in the Wizarding world become complacent or ignorant to the evil that gradually and insidiously creeps in and takes hold as they go about their usual business, barely noticing, and finally adapting themselves to whatever the resulting outcome is. Divisions will also be formed within Harry's own House, Gryffindor, later in the series, as Harry's claim that the Dark Lord has returned is endlessly disputed, and his fellow House-mates take sides either for or against him.
 
The name Nicolas Flamel may trigger some interest among those who recognize it. Mentioned in a number of places, including ''The Hunchback of Notre Dame'' by Victor Hugo, Flamel was a 14<sup>th</sup> century alchemist who is supposed to have found or created the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Philosopher's Stone|Philosopher's Stone]]. Streets in Paris are named after him and his wife, and the house he lived in is now something of a tourist attraction. Despite much excavation of the house after his death, no trace of the Philosopher's Stone or any of the gold supposedly made with it was ever found.
 
As can be seen here, if the Trio has a weakness, it is a tendency to become stubbornly fixated on a single-minded thought; their determined belief that Snape has malevolent intentions could have had nasty consequences at the Quidditch match had luck not favoured them. Hagrid is their opposite in this, adamantly believing that a Hogwarts teacher could never be involved in anything evil, particularly if it involves a student or the school. The truth lies somewhere in-between, and several teachers throughout the series will be involved in sinister plots.

There is one timing issue in this chapter, which perhaps adds to the mounting suspicion on Snape (as opposed to Quirrell). As Hermione is rushing along the teacher's row to reach Professor Snape, she knocks Professor Quirrell over; but then "It took perhaps thirty seconds for Snape to realize that he was on fire." Thirty seconds is a long time when attempting to counter a jinx or doing something requiring intense concentration; so for thirty seconds, Snape is trying to halt a jinx that has already been interrupted, because Quirrell was knocked over and was no longer conjuring it. It is possible that the author may have been employing hyperbole here, and actually meant something closer to five seconds, which would be more reasonable all around. This was resolved in the film version by having Snape notice that he was on fire after approximately two seconds.
 
=== Connections ===
 
* Harry's catching the Snitch in his mouth in his first ever Quidditch game will turn out to be connected to the final volume of the series.
**On his death, Dumbledore will bequeath this Snitch to Harry, as a way of transferring something to Harry without making the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Ministry of Magic|Ministry]] aware of it; Dumbledore likely guesses that the Ministry will examine all his bequests. Knowing that the Snitch is charmed with "flesh memory" to identify the Seeker that caught it, the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rufus Scrimgeour|Minister for Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour]], wants to watch Harry hold the Snitch to see if Dumbledore has somehow made use of that to pass anything unexpected to Harry. The Snitch does not react to Harry's hand, but [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 7|after the Minister for Magic has left]], Harry finds that when placed in his mouth, the Snitch reveals a message.
**When Harry sets forth to meet his doom, the Snitch, once again held in his mouth, opens to reveal the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Deathly Hallows|Resurrection Stone]]. This provides the means by which Harry can summon the support he needs to complete his task.
* Hermione's possibly-unique ability to conjure fire, seen twice in this chapter, will be used [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 16|later in this book]]. With the possible exception of Hagrid [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Philosopher's Stone/Chapter 4|earlier]], we do not see any other witch or wizard doing this.
