I understand from previous discussion on this list that there is a 
difference between the US and UK editions in that scene. Someone 
posted it as "an error in the US edition": the text says now there 
were only THREE more students to be Sorted, Thomas, Dean, then 
Turpin, Lisa, then Weasley, Ronald, then Zabini, Blaise -- which is 
FOUR. But if Dean Thomas was not Sorted at all, that would be an 
error in the UK edition.
