Personal note from Examiner A. Berk to Board of Governors for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry:
Pointless endeavor. That Skeeter bitch must be sucking down potion fumes to think there's anything amiss going on here. As far as I can tell, Professor Snape is a mark of decorum towards his students. This was nothing more than a wild niffler chase, and a complete waste of school resources and time. There's nothing going on here that's any weirder than anything else that's ever happened in 700 years of Hogwarts' history. Certainly no weirder than the last 7 years of H. Potter's tenure at the school.
