[Zanooda]:
| Another one of those silly questions: in the sentence "... he 
| wrenched his mind back to his own body, fighting to remain 
| present as the prisoners were pushed over gravel" I'm a 
| little confused about the "over gravel" part :-). Does it 
| mean that they were pushed forward to follow the 
| gravel-covered driveway, or were they pushed down so that 
| they fell onto that gravel?

[Lee]:
I would lean toward the first thought.  Being pushed down would be "into"
the gravel, whereas "over" is usually on top of it.  Gathering that they
were treated none to gently, I would surmise that they probably did a lot of
stumbling and such whilst being pushed by Greyback and other nasties, but
their momentum was forward, toward the Malfoy door, over the gravel of the
walkway.

Hope that helps.

Smiles,
Lee :-)
