At the end of HBP, why does Harry not grab a broomstick at the top of the Astronomy Tower and use it to catch snape and Draco?
Is this a post I need to edit to include my *ew, maths!* icon? Or is it just plot and her need to show what was happening in the school taking precedence?
Well, there was fighting at the bottom of the stairs - he couldn't let Snape and Malfoy join in against Ron and Hermione.
And, anyway, he didn't know if they were going to flee through the grounds, or through the Vanishing Cabinet - hurtling around on a broom wouldn't do him any good then, would it.
OK, he should have Accio Firebolt-ed when he got out into the grounds.
