Why the question mark?
In the example:
"Library books are not to be taken outside the school," said Snape. "Give it to me. Five points from Gryffindor."
"He's just made that rule up," Harry muttered angrily as Snape limped away. "Wonder what's wrong with his leg?"
"Dunno, but I hope it's really hurting him," said Ron bitterly.
In the sentence, “Wonder what’s wrong with his leg?” is a declarative sentence. Then why is there a question mark at the end?
