Colin is still a fan of Harry's but he seems to be maturing, as we saw him 
(along with his brother) being an active member of the DA without any of the 
annoying outbursts of yore. He was also mentioned during the Sorting feast 
and he reported to Harry about the aftermath of the assault on McGonagall.

Yes, and most creatively, too:  During the Sorting feast, he said,"Ow kunnit 
nofe skusin danger ifzat?"  and "'Node iddum eentup sechew."

And finally:

13. Vernon Dursley will turn red and resemble a vegetable.
Most definitely.

This is my nominee for the short list because even though it's obvious in one 
way, it captures the same sense of humor that we enjoy so much in JKR's 
writing.  Although I don't recall any actual vegetables being used to describe 
Vernon's complexion this time around.
