1. Why does Hermione not exhibit the least bit of sympathy for Ron on 
the loss of Scabbers? Does Ron just have it in for Crookshanks 
because he jumped on his head in Diagon Alley?  The only reason that I can find that Hermione is not really showing much sympathy for Ron is that she is just over stressed and on the verge of a mental breakdown.  Everything that is coming out of every persons mouth is starting to get on her nerves and here is Ron attacking the one thing that isn't getting on her nerves becaue he can't talk!  Not that I am condoning Hermione's actions at all, nor Ron.  Ron has it in  for a lot of things right now.  He has a lot of pent out anger (which has been discussed before) and Crookshanks is just an easy target.  Has anyone else ever noticed that Ron and Hermione rarely ever just talk, they are always bickering of sorts?  I'm not sure but eventually the lack of communication between those 2 is going to cause major problems, it already has.

2.  Did Harry see the Grim on the way back to the castle or was he 
just imagining things?  Why doesn't he tell Ron?
He saw Sirius not the grim.  He didn't want Ron to worry much, and he also didn't want him to think he was crazy, and Harry thought he was crazy at that point. 
3.  Do you like the descriptions of the Quidditch matches?  Are they 
just a waste of pages? 
NO, I think they make a wonderful diversion from the actual story, and sometimes things happen at the matches that are important to the story.  However, sometimes I think they are repetitive.  But for the most part I think they are well written and fun.
4.  Only 50 points from Slytherin for the dementor trick?  (Harry, 
Hermione, and Neville lost 150 in the Norbert aftermath.)  Should it 
have been more?  less?  detention?  Should have atleast been 50 points each, not just total and a detention.

5.  What did the spectators see when the patronus charged down Malfoy 
and gang?

6.  Why did Percy pin his HB badge to his jammies?  Is he afraid the 
others will forget he *is* Head Boy?
Percy has some pride issues going on, this is why I dislike him so much.  He is soo full of himself. But maybe its some sort of nice little important/security thing for him.  Kind of like me wearing my cross all the time as because I'm a Christian.  
7.  Neville: brave, or "abysmally foolish"?
Both
8.  How did Sirius Black get into the castle?I have no idea but it boils down to the Dementors not doing a very good job.
