My husband has started reading SS. He is reading it to me :-) and as I 
am listening to this I am hearing all sorts of things that I missed on 
my first 2 readings of the series.

For instance:
How is it that when Harry was digging through the pockets of Hagrid's 
coat back in the hut on the rock (when he is looking for money to pay 
the newspaper-owl) that he knows what a Peppermint Humbug is? He is 
pulling all sorts of junk out of Hagrids pockets and we read the list 
of items he finds. It seems to me that since this is supposed to be 
Harry's POV, shouldn't he have said something like "a strange 
peppermint sort of candy" since he would not have seen a Humbug before 
as they are Wizzard candy such as chocolate frogs?

Am I being to picky? Just wondering if it struck anyone else as odd...
