ME:

Agreed.  Since she was moving the same direction as the bludger, the impact 
was not as hard.

ME:

Again, I agree with you.  But IIRC the reason why Harry was unhurt when he fell 
off his broom (PoA - Dementors in the Quidditch scene) was that Dumbledore 
cast a spell on him to make him fall slowly.  I don't have my book with me but 
that's what I remember.
