Hmn, that wasn't quite what I meant. My question was: if all the Houses have
different colors of trim on their sweaters in the movie, how would Ron and
Harry mistake Penelope for a Slytherin if she was wearing blue trim instead
of green? This may sound nitpicky, but hey, if we're going to pick apart the
books, let's pick apart the movie...
