I have been listening to that audio clipet now over and over trying 
to peice together what it means and I can only really come up with 
this: 

I have no idea what or whos house it is, unless it is as someone said 
in here earlier a ministry house used to practise dark magic. The 
only thing I can think of that has canon support about why Hermione 
is raving that Harry might be expelled is because of last year during 
the graveyard scene. It's apparent that students of Hogwarts are only 
allowed to do magic AT Hogwarts. When they Goblet transferred Harry 
to the graveyard he was far from school and we know that he did do 
magic. I know many are saying; but Dumbledore knows that Harry only 
did this because he had too but my theory was that it wasn't 
Dumbledore that was trying to expell Harry that it was Fudge. 

At the end of GoF it is very clear that Fudge does not believe the 
graveyard story or doesn't want to and that he is fed up with Harry. 
Considering that he believed Rita Skeeter's stories about being 
troubled and dangerous he could've used the graveyard incident of him 
doing magic against Harry and try to get Harry expelled because of it.
It sort of makes sense. Fudge obviously believes that Harry is 
destranged if he would flat out refuse to believe that Rita Skeeter's 
story was false. Knowing this, and presumably knowing that Harry is a 
very powerful wizard he may choose to use this against Harry and try 
to expell. I am assuming that Fudge- though not the Headmaster of 
Hogwarts- would have the authority to step in and expell a student. 

The only thing to me that seems to throw my theory off is that 
Hermione says something about the Dementors which makes me think that 
surely they don't use Dementors to descide if to expell someone or 
not and they mention something about a ministry hearing, unless Fudge 
accuses Harry of killing Cedric which is something I doubt highly 
considering that Ron in the audio snippet seems to be taking 
everything rather lightly which makes me think that Harry isn't being 
accused of Cedrics death. 

I also read somewhere on here that someone thinks that Harry might've 
killed a Dursley out of self defense. This also has its 
possibilities. Vernon was no doubt mad about The Weasleys coming into 
his home, and the ton-tongue toffee fiasco could this bring Vernon 
(or any of the Dursley's really) to the breaking point of trying to 
hurt Harry physically-- to the point of death in which Harry would 
have to defend himself? 

Somehow I don't think, even if Harry is facing expullsion that he 
will actually be expelled because I read in an interview and I'm 
really sorry but I don't have the actual interview link but reading 
that in book 5 there will be more of regular class time however this 
could be wrong. Just a thought...what does everyone think? 6 days 
seems like a lifetime.
