== Analysis ==
 
As the battle between Crookshanks and Scabbers escalates, Ron and Hermione's relationship becomes more strained. The readers can see, but Hermione evidently does not, that Crookshanks is deliberately targeting Scabbers, though why is unknown. Hermione seems adamant that itcats isattacking normalsmall foranimals catsis tonormal attack small animalsbehavior, but we can see that Crookshanks has shown no interest in other pets such as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Trevor|Trevor]], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Neville Longbottom|Neville]]'s toad. Why has he become fixated only on Scabbers?
 
Considering [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Draco Malfoy|Draco]]'s comments in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 7|the previous chapter]] that Harry should want revenge against Sirius Black, a correlation can be made as to why authority figures such as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Cornelius Fudge|Fudge]] (in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 3|Chapter 3]]) and McGonagall (here) deny Harry permission to visit Hogsmeade, and why [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Arthur Weasley|Mr. Weasley]] attempted to procure Harry's promise thatnot he would notto search for Sirius Black. TheAlthough patternthe wepattern seeseen here would strongly suggest that Black has done something that would inspire a confrontation, but Harry seems unable to tie these connections together.
 
From the discussion with Professor Lupin, we see Lupin's concern for Harry's emotional well being and also for the entire class. Lupin perhaps is more concerned about the students than any other teacher, with the possible exception of Professor Dumbledore. The Slytherins, meanwhile, are behaving as normal, making aspersions about Lupin's patched robes, obviously more impressed by a person's superficial outer appearance than with their inner character and abilities.
 
Harry is certainly wondering why Snape would deliver a potion to Lupin, though it is unknown what the cup contains. However, it must be something other than a mere drink for Snape to personally bringdeliver it to Lupin; and Lupin's comment that sugar would ruin its effects indicates also that thereit ishas a magical component. While Harry may suspect it contains poison, that seems unlikely, even considering Snape's animosity toward Lupin; Snape's willingness to be seen presenting the goblet to Lupin strongly implies, if not innocence, at least inability to blame Snape for anything that happens to Lupin. What Harry has evidently forgotten is that Snape is as bound by the laws of the world as anyone else, and if he acts with malicious intent, he will have to suffer the consequences. Lupin knows that Snape cannot openly poison him, so feels safe in ignoring Harry's warning, but there must be some reason as to why Snape has brewed this for Lupin.
 
Sirius Black has breached the castle's supposedly impenetrable security as well as bypassing the vicious Dementors, making Hogwarts seem far less secure than we have been led to believe. The readersreader may suspect that Black maycould have broken into Hogwarts in the same manner in which he escaped from [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Azkaban|Azkaban]], though we have no idea what methodhow he usedaccomplished that.
 
Also, possible reasons can be seen for Hermione's disdain for Divination. It is mentioned in the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 6|Chapter 6]], ''Talons and Tea Leaves'', analysis that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sybill Trelawney|Professor Trelawney]] uses fortune-teller's tricks. One was a deliberately-vague "prediction" given to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lavender Brown|Lavender Brown]], "That thing you are dreading. It is going to happen on Friday the sixteenth of October." On October 16th, Lavender receives word that a fox killed her pet bunny, Binky. Hermione questions how this actually fits with the prediction by recalling exactly what it said. Was the bunny's death even a surprise or was Lavender expecting it? Did it happen on the 16th, or is it only on the 16th that she had heard about it? Hermione apparently surmises that Lavender has rationalized her experience to match the prediction. Lavender and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Parvati Patil|Parvati Patil]], however, now seem to almost worship Professor Trelawney. Throughout the remainder of the book, these two spend much spare time hanging out in the Divination classroom.
