We see the Trio starting to work together, theirderiving strength derived from their combined talents. Each plays a vital role in helping Harry reach the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Philosopher's Stone|Philosopher's Stone]], whereas, one alone, and even two, would have failed. Hermione's magical ability and her intellect were necessary to escape the Devil's Snare and to defeat the logic puzzle; Harry's flying skill was required to catch the key; and Ron's chess-playing talent was needed on the Wizard's Chess board. Notably, however, they were not simply taking turns. Ron had to prompt Hermione into conjuring a light to evade the Devil's Snare, and Harry needed Ron's and Hermione's help on the brooms to corner the key.
 
It was mentioned earlier that certain staff and teachers provided the protection for the Stone. In order, that would be: Hagrid (Fluffy), [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Pomona Sprout|Professor Sprout]] (Devil's Snare), [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Filius Flitwick|Professor Flitwick]] (charmed keys), Professor McGonagall (wizard chess set), [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Professor Quirrell|Professor Quirrell]] (troll), and Professor Snape (potions for the logic puzzle). While we have been told that Professor Dumbledore has also provided protection, the form his magic will take hasis unseen yet to be seen.
 
The logic puzzle Hermione solves is interesting, in that we see the question, and the solution, but not the initial setup. The solution, as determined by Hermione, is that the smallest bottle will takemove you forward, and the one at the right end of the line will take you back. Clearly, from the arrangement of the bottles and the associated clues, it is possible for Hermione to determine which potion is which. Is it possible, from the clues and Hermione's solution, to work backwards and determine what the arrangement must have been? In fact, it does not, as the third clue is based on the bottles' sizes of the bottles, which we are not told; however, it does refine it to one of two possible setups, which either of which is uniquely solvable from the clues provided. A discussion of this puzzle, and the possible solutions, appears on the Discussion page for this chapter.
 
Neville's opposing the Trio is the first occasion where we have seen him evince any bravery whatsoever. Until now, he has seemed ineffectual, very weak magically, and at the mercy of the passing scene. It certainly seemed questionable as to just why the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sorting Hat|Sorting Hat]] placed him in Gryffindor. But the Hat apparently detected traits within him that, here, we see for the first time when he stands up against opposition; futilely, to be sure, but he is fighting to protect his House from losing more points due to the Trio's actions. This chapter marks a milestone in Neville's maturation, and his bravery is becoming more overt.
