Red Flags, Red Herrings

I'm going to save the other red flags/ red herrings to see if the 
remaining books address them. So keep posting them.

Evil wizard candy: I don't think they are "Evil" per se, but I have a 
bad feeling about the Frogs and the Beans (especially the Beans). In 
PoA, Snape threatened Harry with drugging Harry's pumpkin juice with 
Verita Serum. In CoS, Hermione drugged the chocolate cakes with PJP 
(Polyjuice Potion). One of the books states that the Beans are 
Harry's favorite wizard candy. It won't be too surprizing if someone 
were to drug a Bean (they are every flavor afterall) with someone 
more potent than PJP. 

Divination's Credibility: So far there have been a few correct 
predictions, the Centaur's prophecies, Trelawney's Voldy is Rising 
prediction and her Hermione prediction (Okay, I know an argument can 
be made that Trelawney DIDN'T know it was Hermione, but I still 
consider it a correct prophecy. I even consider the Parvati-red 
haired man predicition to be true because Ron put a damper on things 
for Padma, Harry, and her). However we still get the impression that 
divination isn't very credible. It events in the books contradict the 
opinion about divination, imo. That's why I can see Rowling either 
leading us down the garden path or being very honest about divination.

Florence: I agree who *is* Florence? I had a feeling Snape was the 
one Bertha caught with Florence. Which makes the question "Who is 
Florence?" even more intriguing (or is Rowling just messing with us?)

The Photo Album: lol at Amy Z's comments. Seriously though, who ARE 
these schoolmates? We know Sirius and Peter weren't among the photo 
senders. We've heard of James' school friends. But what about Lily's? 
Which leads to....

Harry's God-Mother: Usually god-parents come in pairs. Did/does he 
even have one? If so, what happened to her?
