Why are the color adjectives for the flowers singular but not for the lilies?

I just opened a french novel and the first line is: "Il ne faut pas que l'on nous voie." I searched for negative statements like this on Lawless and found the example here: "Il ne faut pas que nous mangions avec les doigts." So I guess putting the 'ne . . . pas' round 'faut' is correct. It seems strange to me as an Anglophone. If I were making this up, I guess I would say: "Il faut que nous ne mangions pas avec les doigts." Is that incorrect? 

Is "râper" really pronounced to rhyme with "cher"? Because that's the pronunciation given when you click on the speaker button in the "Cooking / Faire la cuisine (v)" vocabulary list at https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/learn/theme/1513111

Le mot "magnigfique", est-ce que c'est une faut d'orthographe?

How does one - are we going to the cinema?- My answer was Est ce qu'on va au cinema.  the correct answer was on va au cinema. Was it not a question?

And, if a "best-efforts translation" to English were possible, would "de" represent "late OF two hours", "late BY two hours", or "late SOME two hours"?
