Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Chapter 8 The Potions Master

As classes begin Harry learns he's not far behind the others as he thought. Snape's great dislike for Harry is affirmed when the Gryffindors have their first potion's lesson. The evening ends on a good note, though, after a visit with Hagrid.

Snape needs to stop being such a jerk. He makes me sad. :(

"There, look."
"Where?"
"Next to the tall kid with the red hair."
"Wearing the glasses?"
"Did you see his face?"
"Did you see his scar?"
Whispers followed Harry from the moment he left his dormitory the next day.

Bah, that just has to be so annoying. (Less annoying than the Creeveys, though, gesh those boys)

...they had noticed that a funny smell hung around the turban, and the Weasley twins insisted that it was stuffed full of garlic as well, so that Quirrell was protected wherever he went.

So...what is this funny smell? I never caught it the first time around. Does Quirrell just have a sweaty head from wearing the turban all the time? Does Voldemort have really, really bad breath? Or does he truly have lots of garlic in there?
Hmmm mysterious mysterys.


"How's yer brother Charlie?" Hagrid asked Ron. "I liked him a lot -- great with animals."

I always liked to think that Charlie would go down to visit Hagrid when he was a student. I feel like he might've looked up to Hagrid. Plus, together they could play with care for dangerous creatures and enjoy every minute of it. I imagine they both dreamed of owning a dragon.
