I think that Hermione is just stubborn at this point. Perhaps she feels she should love the outcast kity, much like she herself , an outcast or a misfit, seeks acceptance? Or, even though it hurts to say it, she's just being ignorant.

I think he really did see the Grim. He probably didn't tell Ron so Ron woudln't worry and make a fuss.

I enjoy the Quidditch stuff, but I find theres sometimes too much of it. Sure, it's an important part of Harrys life, but do we need the entire chapter devoted to it? We've seen it in the privious two books, and now in PoA. It gets a bit
repetive.

It should have been a lot more. I think Malfoy should have been expelled. ::hides from those who are now booing him at the thought of having Malfoy gone::

I think they saw a white form of light, as the patronus probably wasn't at full form. Just a guess.

Just being egotistical again. Not wanting anyone to forget the "power" he has as head boy, perhaps.

I think, in Nevilles own way, he is brave. He's a klutz and a bit of a screw up, but he still knows where he stands. And for that, he is brave.

I have absolutley no idea. <g>. I know it's a poor answer, but it's true!
