Could Neville's parents be healed by a Phoenix song? Think of Neville's 
mother as DADA and father as potions teacher...

Yes. Voldy kills him -> Harry defeats Voldemort because of that or dies.

Nice idea, but Ron doesn't have excellent exams to qualify  after breaking 
rules - but as Captain of Quidditch team he may be.

Well, Dumbledore told him to do something -- (spying on Voldemort - he does 
have the death-eater mark) so er- he'd not be teaching potions or heading 
Slytherin - during book 5. I suspect Harry finds out until book 6...

Like it - Dumbledore leaving his Pensive to Harry in his Will.

She is. Lockhart is proud and too free with Memory Charm, and Dobby is just 
plain good!

No money?? What's that have to do with him caring for the child? Harry might 
even pay him for it... Now there's an idea: Harry goes to live with Lupin 
and pays him rent!

True. Also: Most adults can apparate than but few do animagi (based on how 
Fred&George's : "Why can't we apparate as well?" and Molly's: "You're under 
age and you don't have a license..." the tone - as if they'd been talking 
about driving a car).

Wonder if Harry would be able to apparate while in animagus form?
