So, maybe I am missing something, but the battle was in sunlight, right? Chapter 19 says:
“Professor Quirrell was smiling rather grimly. “Your useless excuse
for a third-year defense textbook will suggest to you that you expose
the mountain troll to sunlight, which will freeze it in place.”
The mountain troll is called the “third most-perfect killing machine”. So it can’t be a different kind of troll, because Harry calls it that way and also talks about fire and acid, which is established as the right way to deal with a mountain troll a few lines earlier in Ch. 19.
I notice I am confused. Ah, just found something in Ch. 89:
“someone had enchanted the troll against sunlight before using it as a murder weapon and might also have strengthened it in other ways. ” when Harry finds out Hermione is missing. So we can assume it has been strengthened, considering the usual foreshadowing. Also, it might be strengthened in other ways because of this. But in which ways?
