I think we also need to add the 'Vanishing Cabinet' to this discussion. The Weasley Twins use of it to get rid of Montague was horrible. They are past 5th year, so they have 'vanished' things by then. Is it truly possible that they believed 'vanishing' something just puts it somewhere else for awhile? Is there anywhere else that says what happens to something when it 'vanishes'?
And since the cabinets don't truly 'vanish' anything - they're merely a link between two cabinets - are we to believe that students might think that's all that happens to other things they vanish? -- Hwyla
