Though I like the idea of an ARGH list, and I'll be adding some later, I wonder 
if the Chamber of Secrets idea is actually good.

> CHAMBER OF SECRETS YOU BLOODY IDIOT!" At my book and jumping 
up and down.

OK, assuming the thing hasn't been sealed off with about 40 different kinds of 
magical enhancements now (after magical exterminators went through, 
looking for any other goodies old Sal left behind) I wonder about a place that 
only Harry can open?

It would look suspicious for him to hang around outside the sink, waiting for 
everyone to show up, not to mention just freak them out  every time he used 
Parseltongue. And as we saw, Marietta and that Hufflepuff kid (blanking right 
now) are already skeptical.

The beauty of the Room of Requirement is that the door appeared when 
needed. Having all the kids pile into the bathroom would have drawn 
attention.

But, on to these ARRRGH! Moments:

SS/PS:  WHY IN GOD'S NAME DID YOU LEAVE THE CLOAK ON THE 
TOWER?????

PoA: SAME THING!!!! WHY LEAVE THE CLOAK??? 

CoS:  First, follow a Slyth to his or her common room under the cloak, 
remember the way, THEN drink the potion and head straight there. 

GoF: RON! JUST ASK HER TO THE BALL! Silly git!

OoP: I got all along that Sirius wasn't really being tortured and that it was a 
trap. I was screaming at Harry.
