KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Meanwhile, Hermione noticed Professor Snape muttering with his eyes fixed on Gryffindor’s Seeker and, being Hermione, put two and two together. Being well-read on the subject of curses (and every other subject, for that matter), she thought Snape was jinxing the broom and ran to Harry’s rescue with her fiery spell.

Detailed explanation-2: -However Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley and later Harry thought that Snape was performing the jinx, as he kept eye contact and kept muttering under his breath.

Detailed explanation-3: -At that quidditch match, Quirrell jinxed his broom to try to knock Harry off and kill him-but Snape-whom was suspicous of Quirrell from the start-noticed and was muttering a counter-curse in order to save his life.

Detailed explanation-4: -Are there other spells, jinxes, or curses that require eye contact? In Philosopher’s Stone, Harry, Ron, and Hermione believe that Professor Snape was jinxing Harry’s broom during the Gryffindor/Slytherin Quidditch match: The afternoon’s events certainly seemed to have changed [Hermione’s] mind about Snape.

Detailed explanation-5: -He wanted Harry dead because he was serving Voldemort. Snape did everything in his power to counter the jinx because he didn’t know who was doing it.
