/If that's the case, then what's the difference between this class and Hagrid's? :P/
Teacher's fondness of creatures he presents? :P
/I think that it's clear that Hagrid's class has nothing to do with academics and is really all about giving Harry's friend a teaching job and some animals that might play a role in the plot later. /
I mean from Rowlings POV sure, but usually, she at least tries to pretend that HP universe doesn't centre around Harry.
/The only reason why Hermione is seen as more.../
Agreed. Hermione was handled very badly. There are so many ways to handle socially awkward character growing into themselves, yet Jo keeps Hermione at the relatively same level only adding up to her self-righteousness and risk-chasing tendencies.
/I'm guessing that it's because Sirius is 'out of sight, out of mind' at this point./
Eh, I would accept it normally, but in the next chapter, Harry gets even more whiny over people keeping eye on him so he won't get kidnapped/killed.
/Why is he behaving so casually about it? It's this terrible, horrible secret that could lead to Lupin killing people...but he'll take his sweet time drinking the temporary antidote. It's just so weird. /
I suspect it's because in Jo's brain SWM and the Prank doesn't exist. Yet. If I remember correctly in this book either Remus or Sirurs claim that Snape hates James due to Quidditch jealousy. So if SWM and the Prank didn't (in Jo's brain) take place there is no need for Remus guilt. Up until this point he kept away from humans during fool moons, but his current job forces him to be at Hogwarts and the potion is particularly unpleasant (probably more than in taste) so he is reluctant.
