Last night I was thinking about Moaning Myrtle and the question of whether
or not the basilisk's stare could penetrate glass. Well, she was crying,
and if you've ever tried crying while wearing a pair of glasses, you
usually wind up taking them off, since they get wet, steamy, & slip off
your nose. I puzzled over the camera thing and can only guess that it
has something to with the lenses in the viewfinder.

And all the discussion about Harry's full name. No matter what it is,
he'll always be plain old "Harry" to me. Look at Hawkeye Pierce on
M*A*S*H, I know his full name is Benjamin Franklin Pierce, but he'll
always be Hawkeye to me.

I think someone posted a question about Fred's turning Ron's teddy
bear into a spider when he (Fred) was 5 and why didn't the Restriction
of Underage Sorcery didn't apply. Perhaps accidental use of magic by
a child yet untrained in the ways of magic does not fall under the
restriction. Otherwise, Harry would've gotten several prior to his
entrance to Hogwarts (turning his teacher's hair blue, setting free the
python, etc)

If I have repeated myself in any way, I apologize. I had very little
sleep last night.
