Each year questions were sent out to new first years so staff could screen incoming students for any potential problems.

At Hogwarts, Harry is nothing special. In the summer, he’s free labor in his aunt’s Loan-Out-Unwanted-Nephews-As-Gardeners Business. But one potions master with a rare gift recognizes something in Harry that could be trained for greatness. AU.
