The so-called Lost Colony went home with some Croatians, though they
misspelled the note they left.;-)

The Confundus Charm was used to make the Goblet think there were *four*
schools participating in a *TRI*-Wizard Tournament.  It had nothing to
do with age.

While on this subject, though, I did wonder why no one thought to get a
20-ft pole and use it to put his/her name in or have an owl drop it in
or wrap it around a piece of ice and throw it in or....

Say Snape *has* gone back to Voldemort as a spy.  I could see JKR
writing the end of a chapter where Dumbledore, Harry, etc. are together
and Dumbledore says "Now, Severus, if you're ready, tell us what
happened."  The next chapter would be entitled Snape's Story and would
be entirely first person from his POV.

I think it could work.
