Bonaccord and Liechtenstein." He then gets the answer (or part of 
it, at least).

Throughout OoP, Harry showed unusual intuition, even aside from the 
Voldemort-connection thing. I'll have to reread the thing to get 
more quotes (I KNOW there are tons), but here's one that was quite 
interesting:

Firenze: "'My herd has banished me.' 'Herd?' said Lavender in a 
confused voice, and Harry knew she was thinking of cows" (OoP pg. 
601).

Add to that the several times Harry "senses" or "knows" he feels 
Moody's magical eye on him, and the HoM OWL, and I think we have a 
potential Legilimens!Harry, though he does not yet know it. 

We know Voldemort was an accomplished Legilimens; perhaps that was 
another gift he transferred to Harry that night. That seems 
probable, and yet I rebel against that idea because I want Harry to 
have his OWN gifts; this "you got it from Voldie" thing is slightly 
upsetting to me.
