I was curious enough about the significance of colors in Harry Potter to
catalogue all the uses of green I could find.  Most, if not all, of these
are just coincidence and have no deeper meaning, but I didn't discriminate
(who am I to decide what means something and what doesn't).  This is
hopefully a pretty complete list of everything green in Harry Potter and the
chapter in which it first appeared.  Let me know if I missed any.  More
colors may follow (particularly red), but it takes a couple hours to put a
list like this together.

If I've duplicated some other obsessive person's work, let me know so I can
stop and get therapy.  Otherwise I wont get therapy until I'm finished. :-)

stop reading now.  What follows will prove it.)
