So Harry and the Big D are some kind of distant cousins?

Or IS Gryffindor.  Ooooh...

Complete ignorance of the Muggle world.  Ron was completely surprised that 
Muggle photos don't move, right?  Okay, Molly may know more than that, but 
it illustrates how wizards can be completely clueless about the differences 
between Muggle and wizarding life.  In the magical world, it's common for a 
space to be larger on the inside than on the outside, and Molly might well 
not know that this is quite, shall we say, unusual in a Muggle object.

I love this line for this very reason.  It's like Ron's poking Dean's 
posters to get the players to move.

Yes.  I can't see any evidence to the contrary.

He volunteered because the job gave him so much satisfaction.

Yay, a defender of Colin!  Yes, the kid definitely belongs in Gryffindor, 
doesn't he?

No doubt in my mind.

who's grateful for the explanation of the Chicken Heart joke, since she 
hasn't heard Bill Cosby in a long time (I finally have a turntable now, 
though, so the old records are coming back out!  Yeeha!  "I Started Out as a 
Child...")
