I concur and I apologize for it. I'm as responsible as anyone for
engaging him in further discussion. It is clear that when he started,
he hadn't read the books at all. Now he has read a bit and gotten out
of it exactly what he wanted. There's nothing more to be done for him.

First years are not allowed to own brooms but they did get flying lessons
very early using school brooms. There was a mention, wasn't there in
Prisoner, that Harry might have to compete on an old school broom if
he couldn't get a replacement for the Nimbus? I see the whole thing
as being like cars and highschoolers. You give them driver's education
before you let them have cars and you certainly don't let someone who
hasn't been through the training on the school drag racing team.
