away, ha, ha, in PoA?

Sirius Black, disarming Harry or Hermione in the Shack?

Dean Thomas, book 1, during the first (?) Quidditch match we see. (or
was it Seamus? one of the Muggle-born boys in Harry's year in
Gryffindor)

Professor Binns, to Hermione, when she (gasp!) asks a question about the
Chamber of Secrets in CoS.

Draco Malfoy, book 1, when Harry and he are getting fitted for school
robes side by side in Madam Malkin's. I think.

.geroff,"

Ron, book 1, as the Weasley crew are getting onto the Hogwarts express.
We haven't been introduced yet, I don't think, we just know he's the
youngest red-haired boy.

Hermione, when she came into the compartment on the train, looking for
Neville's toad. Also before we were introduced by name. Just after
Neville came down looking for his toad.

Bartemius Crouch, Sr., refusing tea at the camp of the Weasleys at the
World Cup. I think.

One of the ghosts, I think Nick, during the conversation they were
having when they drifted out of the wall, scaring the first-years as
they waited to be summoned to the Sorting ceremony, book 1.

Mr. Ollivander, when Hagrid brings Harry to his wand shop, book 1...?

Colin Creevy, book 2?

Filch? Looking for Harry on one of his nocturnal wanderings in book 1?
Or is it Peeves?

Hagrid, to Uncle Vernon in the hut on the rock, when Vernon's gone for
his rifle, book 1?

Voldemort, from his perch on the back of Quirrell's head during the
search for the stone, book 1.

Dudley, after counting his birthday presents, and finding two less than
he got last year...oooo....book 1.

Professor Sprout, looking distinctly disgruntled, after a morning of
fixing the Whomping Willow with Lockhart's "help," book 2.

Madam Rosmerta, identifying drink orders to the assembled party of
professors and Fudge in the pub at Hogsmeade (forgot the name), just
before the scene when Harry overhears that Sirius Black is his
godfather.

> "Little tyke"

Vernon Dursley, about baby Dudley, as he goes off to work on the very
odd day that has owls flying about in the daytime and shooting stars
over Kent, book 1.

packed with Muggles, of course

Mrs. Weasley? One of the Weasleys, at any rate, in the train station,
overheard by Harry as he's panicking about finding platform 9 3/4. book
1.

Professor Flitwick? I know the scene, but I can't place the professor.
Isn't this when Draco's swiped Neville's remembrall, book 1? I'm not
sure.
