One for the "Could Ron be a seer?" file:
Ron on Gilderoy Lockhart:
"Rubbish,"said Hermione.  "You've read his books--look at all those amazing 
things he's done--"
"He *says* he's done," Ron muttered.  (CoS, US ed, p. 103)

OK, so maybe it doesn't require too much Divination skill, but no one else 
seems to think he's really a fake at that point.


And two for the "Is george the more senstive twin?" file:

After getting the booklists:
"That lot won't come cheap," said George, with a quick look at his parents.  
"Lockhart's books are really expensive..." (CoS, US ed, p. 44)

AND he's still worried about it later, when the boys are playing Quidditch 
outside:
"Dunno how Mom and Dad are going to afford all our school stuff this year," 
said george after awhile.  "Five sets of Lockhart books! And Ginny needs new 
robes and a wand and everything..."  CoS, US ed, p. 46.

Just thought it was interesting that George was the one so concerned in light 
of our recent discussions about the twins.  I had never noticed the difference 
before.
