>>The best friend is almost always chosen to be the best man/maid of 
honor at weddings, so the choice of Sirius seems obvious.  And 
wouldn't you expect that Remus and Peter would have been in the 
wedding party as groomsmen?  <<

Exactly... so what I have long wondered is why does Lupin not appear in the wedding photo? Or Pettigrew, for that matter, if they were all close friends, they would most likely have been ushers/groomsmen, and wedding pictures are often taken with the whole wedding party.

I wonder if Lupin contributed that picture to the album when Hagrid sent his owl 'round looking for pictures to give to Harry? 

>> Hagrid a Hufflepuff?

In PS/SS Hagrid says that it's most people's opinion that Hufflepuffs are "a bunch of duffers" (pardon the inexact quote, don't have my books at work with me.) I doubt he would mention that, even in passing, without defending them if that were his house. 

And, of course, JKR clarified "off-page" for us that Hagrid was a Gryffendor. Does anyone else find it a little too convenient that everyone and their brother was in the Lion House??

>> only a reserve last year"

The whole question of the entire team graduating in Harry's sixth year would be solved if there WERE reserves. But in four years we haven't seen anyone try out for, or become, a reserve. Why? When Harry was injured, they had to forfeit a match because they had no Seeker. Wouldn't it be better to field a substandard "reserve" Seeker (say, hypothetically, Ron) than to forfeit??
