Back on topic ;) 

I think one of Harry's weaknesses is he's not quite sure of himself 
or his abilities at times. Although this may have to with age and 
lack of wizarding exposure before age 11. Granted I know I wasn't 
always confident in my teen years. It will be interesting to see if 
he overcomes this lack of confidence or it starts to become a  
problem in the next 3 books. 


Now on to boggorts. I think maybe boggorts are a combination of a 
spirt and a being. They are shapeshifters and seem to have soild 
form, whereas I've always thought of spirts being more translucent. 
Also maybe they are a magical type of being similar to a house elf 
and not a magical beast. This could explain why they aren't in FB. 


Squibs:

I thought some squibs could have a miniscule amount of magic but not 
enough to be a witch or wizard. Kind of like how Professor Trelawney 
makes predictions, 99.9% of the time it's total bunk but 0.1% of the 
time she gets one right.
