Methinks someone needs to increase their math budget. Though, when I was trying to picture it mentally at first, I don't see why the squid isn't just hauling all the boats attached from the bottom by long ropes connected to a long pole or harness, so that the boats all get towed together and don't beat against one another. They could attach as many boats to the rod as possible, for however many students they had that year, plus one for Hagrid, and still free up a bunch of the squids tentacles to, say, save a child that had fallen out of the boat, because he's not hauling ten/eleven boats, he's hauling a long pole with however many boats attached

The geography around the castle, the lake, I mean, did they discuss it in the books? The Black Lake could have been a part of the ocean which is closed off by a geographic event - volcanic eruption, earthquake, etc - then sealed off any saltwater creatures still in the area. Over time, as the fresh water rivers or the freshwater rain came in, the salinity of the lake decreased, thus the usual ocean creatures in it adapted to the slowly-changing-to-freshwater lake. Examples of lakes like this would be Lake Ontario and Lake Taal. In fact, only Lake Taal had freshwater species of sharks until they were hunted down to extinction in 1930.

I don't think the books do, apart from it being mountainous, but we do know it's in Scotland, which hasn't seen any geological activity that intense in tens of millions of years. There are saltwater lochs in Scotland, but only very close to the coast. The inland ones, like the black lake, were mostly formed by glaciers.

The boat pulling theory is really compelling, but as to how it survives in the lake, I would say it is simply because J.K. Rowling’s giant squid is based on the mythological sea monster, a magical creature equal to all the other magical/mythological beings that inhabit the grounds (unicorns, centaurs, merpeople, agromantulas, etc) So basically the squid is a “fantastic beast” to which the muggle laws of nature don’t really apply. If she had called it a Kraken it would’ve been more self-explanatory.

My theory: the basilisk is Salazar slytherin and his opposite Godrick gryffindore is the only creature that can counteract the basilisks poison, fawks the Phoenix, cause it's immortal so it could have been around since then and the basilisk was also. Both serve their true heir dumbledore for gryffindore and Voldemort for slytherin. Then the book and quill that decides who KNOWS who has enough magic to attend the school is the manifestation and creation of revenclaw. Then the giant squid who moves the first years to the school and is always there to watch the school and is KIND towards the students is hufflepuff. The sorting hat was created by all four of them as a mediator between them all and as a way to make sure the students go to the right house for each student.

Actually, when you mentioned that the squid pulls the boats, I remembered a story we have from one of our own freshwater lakes here in Norway. It is said that there is a giant nøkk (shapeshifting waterbeast) what can turn itself into a serpent or a troll in the lake, and that it can pull a boat along if it finds the rider worthy. Without sails or a propeller. Now I want to make the guy from the tale into a wizard befuddling the minds of the muggles watching in awe.

I think The "Giant Squid" in Harry Potter is actualy a Kraken and therefore not a squid. Krakens in mitholagy lived close to the surface and had very sturdy skin, unlike squids. It could also be posible that krakens can live in any type of watery enviroment, as long as it is large enought to hold it.

Another (I think more likely) explanation is that the lake actually connects to the ocean just through an underground cave. This would mean the lake is actually a saltwater lake meaning the squid can survive there and that it provides a way for the squid to end up in the lake in the first place.

This is a great video explaining the purpose of the Giant Squid. Though, I think that Newt Scamander brought the squid to the lake. If you’ve watched the Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald, on the scene where Newt is trying to work with a Kelpey, Newt rides the creature and they mysteriously appear at the black lake in hogwarts. This confirms the portal theory and how the squid got to hogwarts. Not to mention, during the Tri-wizard tournament, when Harry at you dive into the lake- you are able to see ruins. Ruins, in UK folklore symbolizes portals. This confirms the portal theory. I also believe that the squid also has more than 10 tentacles. This would make the creature even more magical. 🤔 thanks for reading my comment!
