Penny:"Actually, someone (sorry I can't remember who) made the very 
good point that we're getting Harry's POV of how many tables there 
are & how many people they seat.  He could just be overwhelmed when 
he makes this observation (or just inaccurate).  What GoF says in any 
case is: "there were *about* a hundred smaller, lantern-lit ones, 
each seating *about* a dozen people"

Jim: "That's very convenient. It allows any undesirable evidence to be 
discounted."

Yep--great technique, isn't it?  <g>  

The problem is that *something* in canon or planon has to be wrong, or 
else there has to be a major magical explanation that hasn't been 
forthcoming yet.  So everyone has to choose something to ignore.  We 
just choose different things.

LOL!  It was only a matter of time before ST started channeling Elvis.

I'm R/H, and as you say almost everyone thinks Ron likes Hermione 
regardless of personal ship, but I suppose I can imagine alternative 
explanations for how he acts.  Care to run a theory by us before you 
descend into the limbo of computerlessness?

This is still driving me crazy so I hope someone will come up with a 
good answer and put me out of my misery.  I can see Snape being 
something of a Lone Ranger, but does he know that Quirrell is actually 
working for V?  I can't believe he'd keep that to himself.

This may seem lame to you, if you've never seen a maniacal sports fan 
in action, but I do think it's pure partisan Slytherinism; he wants 
Slytherin to win the Quidditch and House cups, plain and simple.  
Plus, if Sirius is to be trusted, James lookalikes who are great at 
Quidditch give Snape indigestion.
