Talk:Jacob (Hogwarts student)

Did Jacob learn Potions with Snape?

As I was playing the game for myself and watching some playthroughs on YouTube, I realized that it seems like Professor Snape actually knew Jacob as a student which would give a suggestion as to his (Jacb's) Hogwarts school years. I feel this is the case because of what Professor Snape says during one of the very first lessons in the game. He mentions in that session how Jacob's Sibling has been nothing but trouble since s/he arrived at Hogwarts just like Jacob. I know that he could have learned this from other professors at Hogwarts but the wording of it seems to imply personal experience to me.

With the first year of the game being in 1984, there are three school years possible for this to be true, if it is:

1981-1982 (Professor Snape's first year as Potions Master)    1982-1983                                                                                  1983-1984

My best guess is that, if any of those years is when Jacob was a student at Hogwarts, it was only 1981-1982. This is because from the story itself, it appears that it has been several years since the last vault has opened but not too much time has passed since this still seems to be the biggest news at Hogwarts besides Voldemort's "death".

PS. I apologize if this post breaks any rules as this is my first post on the Harry Potter Wiki.
