In the book Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K Rowling, Harry, Hermione, and Ron were trying to figure out what was going on with the Philosopher’s stone, why it was a kind of plot against Harry, and why the scar on his head hurt. Then they were making theories and concluded that Snape was the one who was plotting against Harry.

So we were right, it is the Philosopher’s Stone, and Snape´s trying to force Quirrell to help him get it. He asked if he knew how to get past Fluffy – and he said something about Quirrell´s “hocus-pocus” – I reckon there are the other things guarding the stone apart from Fluffy, loads of enchantments, probably, and Quirrell would have done some anti-Drak Arts spell which Snape needs to break through- (p. 244).

I liked this part of the book because it is interesting because of the fact that Harry, Hermionie and Ron, drew opposite conclusions to everything that had actually happened, they said that Snape had been for the spell he had cast while Harry was playing Quidditch, but they didn’t realize that Quirrell was the one who was really hurting him and that only Snape was trying to protect him.
