zanooda:

I kind of assumed that McGonagall *knew* what Harry was holding in his
hand, because of what happened that day at breakfast - you know,
"Malfoy's got my Remembrall, Professor" - "Just looking" etc. :-). I
thought McGonagall called Remembrall "that thing", because Wood
possibly didn't know what it was and she didn't want to confuse him :-).

Here is another question, not controversial this time :-). In Ch.11
("Quidditch") Lee Jordan says: "... a penalty to Gryffindor, taken by
Spinnet, who puts it away". My question is: did she score or did she
miss :-)? I personally understand it as "score", but again, I'm not
completely sure, and I'm not an English-speaker, and somehow
dictionaries are not much help in this case. Would you mind if I
exploited you guys a little more :-)? Could you tell me what "put
away" means in this context?
