**** Well, in all probability, the clock would have no knowledge that 
Sirius was supposedly evil. It probably just weighs up situations 
simply without prejudice, and since Ron was *not* actually in danger 
at that time, there would be no need for the 'mortal peril'. As for 
the others... isn't it possible that Mrs W could've been out on those 
occasions, or at the very least had no reason to check the clock 
because for all her knowledge the boys were safely at Hogwarts.

   ****Erm, my take on it is that Black wasn't under suspicion or 
beleived to be guilty 'till *afterwards*. ***************

   ****Black and Peter were good friends, remember, and IMO if anyone 
were to realise that Peter had played traitor or was about to, it 
would be Black. Not a comprehensive explanation, I'm afraid, but just 
my take on it. Friends can sometimes be uncanny at reading each other 
and their moves. *********

  **** I've pondered this... and I came to the conclusion that I just 
can't see it happening. Cho is Harry's first 'crush', and she offers 
J.K.R a great window to explore Harry's feelings concerning this, and 
girls in general, but she's not really dimensional enough to feature 
as a main character. She's almost perfect, as of course she has to be 
from Harry's POV, and if they were to get together... doesn't it 
undermine Harry's respect for Cedric?***************

10) Is Fudge merely corrupt, a good man at heart, or evil? And to

   **** I love this question! So much to debate about. Personally, I 
think the largest impetus behind all of Fudge's actions is his 
underlying weakness and desire to be admired. He's too scared to 
stand too strongly against the tide and people's opinions, and in a 
way I don't blame him. Dumbledore is strong enough to handle it; he's 
much older, wiser, and stronger. Poor Fudge's life could be made hell 
by the likes of the Mayfoys' etc, and it's really fear for his own 
position that drives him. 
   I don't think he's evil; that's too strong a word... but I believe 
he wants power, and respect (isn't that desire reflected in his job 
position?), neither of which he truely has as of yet (not compared to 
Dumbledore anyway), and this is something Voldemort could most 
certianly use to his advantage. 
   I think Fudge is a very susceptable character, and for that reason 
alone, a dangerous one. But not really *evil*. **************
