"Dean Thomas is not mentioned in the Philosopher's Stone version of

of you too tired to link over to hpgalleries).  By the time Harry 
tunes back in after being Sorted himself,  "And now there were only 
three people left to be sorted.  [NB:  This sentence exists in the US 
version, but it's a Flint, because the book then goes on to name 
Thomas, Turpin, Weasley, and Zabini.]  'Turpin, Lisa' became a 
Ravenclaw and then it was Ron's turn.  He was pale green by now . . 
." etc. "

--Perhaps it is just me but now I'm *really* confused.

On page *134* of the british paperback version of PS-
"And now there were only three people left to be sorted. 'Turpin, 
Lisa' became a Ravenclaw and then it was Ron's turn. He was pale 
green by now. Harry crossed his fingers under the table and a second 
later the hat had shourted, 'GRYFFINDOR!'"

On page 122 of the american hardback version of SS-
"And now there were only three people left to be sorted. "Thomas, 
Dean," a Black boy even taller than Ron, joined Harry at the 
Gryffindor table. "Turpin, Lisa," became a Ravenclawand then it was 
Ron's turn. He was pale green by now. Harry crossed his fingers under 
the table and a second later the hat shouted, "GRYFFINDOR!""

Maybe this is what you were trying to say, and I think it is, but I'm 
just a little confused. So to clear up the confusion which was most 
likely only on my part, Dean Thomas isn't sorted *at all* in the 
british editions.
