Has anyone besides me wondered if the incomplete transformation of
Scabbers was not entirely due to Ron's broken wand, but the fact he is
really a human and the spell was meant to be used only on animals?  Of
course noone really notices cause they assume its the wand.  I bet Peter
didn't care for that at all.. Its like:

PETER: (thinking) 'Oh Great!  The stupid git turned me into a
goblet..well...almost..I still have a tail. (lashes tail around in
annoyance) I knew I should have checked Ron's class schedule and hidden
well before this class. Its a good thing he didn't blow me up.'
