Hermione, Dobby, Memories and Harry Works Alone!

No: HPFGUIDX 34876

In the interests of brevity:

1.  Why were there no repercussions when Hermione tore a page out of an old 
book in the CoS.

2.  How could Dobby disappear at the end of CoS when Hermione has stated that 
apperating/disapperating cannot be done inside Hogwarts (PoA)?

3.  Why does HP seem unsure of what is happening in the Pensieve, when he has 
spent time in Tom Riddle's memory - in the same vein are AD's memories edited 
to HP's consumption?

4.  I have noticed that in every adventure thus far it seems that HP faces 
the penultimate problem (the final problem always being going back to Privet 
Drive) alone.  Quirrel/LV, Tom Riddle/Basalisk, hundreds of Dementors, and 
LV, himself.  The edge he finds or advantage he presses is beyond his 
personal knowledge:  his mother's love and sacrifice; unswerving loyalty to 
AB; producing a Patronus only because he had seen himself do it (the old 
chicken and egg) and finally, the accidental incantatum when the wands 
collided.  

Just some conumdrums to pass a winter's night.
