Throughout the books there have been many an off-hand remark that has 
turned out to be a clue to some future event/thing - 
So, I started to think of other things that may have a hidden meaning 
and was wondering if we could get together a comprehensive list - 
thing's to look out for (and speculate on) in Books 6 & 7.
Here's a few I came up with, I am going to have to re-read the other 
4 books to find more that are yet to be brought to light.

Neville had already stretched out his hand, into which his mother 
dropped an empty Drooble's Best Blowing Gum wrapper.
..........
'Well, we'd better get back,' sighed Mrs Longbottom, drawing on long 
green gloves. 'Very nice to have met you all. Neville, put that 
wrapper in the bin, she must have given you enough of them to paper 
your bedroom by now.'

Q: Is Neville's mum more "with it" than we know, or is this just a 
sign of Neville's affection.......

Me (Inge):
I was thinking maybe there's more to the gum wrappers than meet the 
eye.
