And since the spell doesn't change the inherent nature of the water ... maybe they thought it didn't make much sense for it to be considered a Transfiguration spell?" She thought out loud, with her hand raised. Ack. She had no idea.

"I asked this question for two reasons, one, because I wanted to get you thinking, and two, because no one has really answered it and it has bugged me since my 6th year at Hogwarts when I learned the spell. Personally, I think it may have something to do with the fact that there is both hydrogen and oxygen in the air as it is, and the spell simply causes the two to react in the air and produces water. One could also argue that because of my opinion, it technically isnt a transfiguration spell either, but at the time the spell was created, perhaps they didnt know about molecules in the air." Alex explained to the class as she walked around, glad they had come up with some interesting ideas. "Now, if you have any other theories, please share them and after that, we will move on to learning the spell." she finished as she stopped in front of her desk and sat down on it.
