[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco Malfoy]] reappears on Thursday, midway through [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Professor Snape]]'s Double [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Potions|Potions]] class, claiming his injury is still painful. He sits himself at [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ron Weasley|Ron's]] bench, and Snape orders them to prepare Malfoy's ingredients for him. Malfoy taunts them with threats of [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid's]] imminent dismissal thanks to his father, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lucius Malfoy|Lucius]], who apparently still has influence with the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Ministry of Magic|Ministry]]. Malfoy also contends that if he was Harry, he would want revenge on [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius Black|Sirius Black]]. Harry later asks Ron why he would want revenge against Black; Ron cannot answer. Meanwhile, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Hermione Granger|Hermione]] helps [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Neville Longbottom|Neville]] make his potion correctly, against Snape's orders; Snape penalizes Gryffindor five House points, becausebelieving heNeville assumesincapable (correctly)of correcting his potion unaided, and guessing that Hermione helpedhad, against his orders, assisted himNeville.

Professor Lupin's character is becoming more defined here. UnderstandingOne key item is his understanding, demonstrated here by his actions, that students, requirelike respectanyone, herequire showsrespect thatin order to themperform at their best. Despite Snape's aspersions against Neville Longbottom, Lupin has him lead off against the Boggart, and coaches him to where he has the confidence to perform the spell twice. This proves to be an important milestone in Neville's development. To date, Neville has always felt that he was in the wrong place, even remarking that his family believed he was, "almost a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Squib|squib]]," in ''[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Chamber of Secrets|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]''. He fears he has no real magical abilities. Indeed, it does appear that he has little, if any, skill in Potions, and he is apparently just as lost in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Divination|Divination]] as Harry and Ron. Lupin, by having him lead off the class against the Boggart and later having him finish the lesson, boosts his confidence. Harry's confidence, meanwhile, is deflated when Lupin denies him an opportunity at the Boggart, leaving him a bit confused.

Additionally, the astute reader may note that Lupin uses the students' Christian names rather than their surnames, as is the British custom. While this could be seen as excessive familiarity, particularly in schools run on the English public-school model, in this context, it seems to change Lupin from a professor into a teacher, bringing him closer to the students without undue familiarity – he doesn't expect the students to address him by his first name, remaining Professor Lupin to the end of the book.

The Boggart represents how everyone's fears are different. Curiously, it is not Voldemort that Harry fears most, but Dementors. It may be that Harry is more affected by them because he (and just about everyone else) has difficulty comprehending what the eerie creatures actually are, leaving him unsure how to react to them. Voldemort, though an evil and powerful enemy, is a human being, albeit a disembodied one, and Harry can better understand his more predictable human traits. Dementors, in contrast, are dark, hideous, unpredictable creatures not entirely understood by Wizards, are unpredictable, and apparently difficult to keep under control; it is curious then, just why they are entrusted with guarding Azkaban prison. The creatures also seem to show a particular interest in Harry, whose encounter with them has left a deep emotional wound.

Note that Peeves is especially disrespectful towards Lupin. Peeves may know something about Lupin's earlier school years, and the song he sings ("Loony, loopy Lupin") may refer to what we later hear called Lupin's "furry little problem." Lupin's Boggart, a silvery orb, may provide a clue as to just what this problem is. However, Lupin demonstrates that he is able to hold his own against Peeves and, in the process, reinforces his students' admiration.

Hermione's constant disappearing and reappearing is due to a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Time-Turner|Time-Turner]], a device that allows her to attend more classes than physically possible. Her bag splitting open is conveniently timed to distract us from questioning where she was or noticing how she suddenly vanished and reappeared. Throughout the book, Hermione similarly appears in places where she was not mere moments before, and always there is some distraction that prevents any pondering about her abrupt appearances. The author's use of this technique is quite skilful and warrants examination by writers interested in revealing facts to their readers while downplaying their significance.

Harry is confused and upset because Lupin refused him a chance at the Boggart. Lupin assures him in the next chapter that he intervened only because he worried the class was unprepared to face Lord Voldemort's simulacrum. When Harry admits he initially thought of Voldemort, but quickly realisedrealized he feared Dementors more, Lupin is impressed by Harry fearing fear rather than an actual being. When fear is intangible and incomprehensible, it often becomes more terrifying.

The "silvery orb" Lupin fears is not a crystal ball, but the full moon, which is connected to his being a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Werewolf|Werewolf]]. Parvati's mistake in believing it to be a crystal ball is wholly in character, and a nice bit of misdirection by the author; Parvati has already shown a significant aptitude for [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Divination|Divination]], so likely is already predisposed to seeing things related to that subject.
