<In Book 1, Nearly Headless Nick says he hasn't eaten anything in nearly
400 years, but in book 2 it turns out he's been dead for 500 years. Which
is it? [An observant person somewhere noted that the way Nick is dressed
-- in ruffs and tights -- was the fashion of 400 years ago, not 500.]>

He says in book 1 that he caneat food but there is no point. Maybe ghosts
can change thre clothes.

<Why does Ron get to bring a rat to Hogwarts, when the Hogwarts acceptance
letter specifically says students can bring a cat or a toad or an owl?>

Non exhaustive list!

<Also, how come none of the above people except Lupin ever notice while
looking at the map that Ron is always accompanied by Peter Pettigrew?>

Thye never look at the right part - only look at the bit they are
interested in.

<In Book 3, when they are returning to the castle from the Shrieking
Shack, Lupin turns into a werewolf when the clouds part to show the full
moon. But if he only changes when the full moon is visible, why doesn't
he just stay inside?>

>From other books with werewolves - if outside and the moon is visible
around full moon then he is forced to change but on the night of the
full moon he will change no matter where he is.

<Why do the dementors try to give Harry the kiss of death?>

It is described as food for them - maybe they were just hungry.
