Well, my reponse to this is "Why *wouldn't* he remember? There don't 
appear to be *all* that many students in his year (I know this is a 
source of constant debate around here), but I sure don't think Harry 
takes potions with 100 other students, in which case remembering 
their names would be more of a challenge. 

me (bibphile):

I wasn't trying to insult you.  I was referring to the way Harry 
doesn't know anyone's name.  I think there are about 40 students per 
year and I don't see why Harry doesn't know their names either.  
Like I said, I was referring to the way Harry doesn't know the names 
of many people he's had classes with for years.  Not whether it's 
reasonable to know that many names (which I agree it is.)  I was 
basically making fun of Harry.

I'm sorry if I was misunderstood.
