Laura:
Also, right now I'm doing my rereads (Don't worry, I'm right on 
schedule- 6 more chapters to go in GoF) and I noticed this really for 
the first time:  In the chapter "The Third Task," as Harry is eating 
dinner the night of the third task, he notices Madame Maxime, sitting 
at the staff table.  This is just after the incident with the 
Pensieve.  Right before Harry entered Dumbledore's office, he 
overheard a conversation between Dumbledore, Fudge, and Moody about 
what might have happened to Mr. Crouch, and Fudge suggests Madame 
Maxime because she is half giant.  At this dinner, Harry notices:

> > >
Bagman looked quite cheerful, but Cornelius Fudge, who was sitting 
next to Madame Maxime, looked stern and was not talking.  Madame 
Maxime was concentrating on her plate, and Harry thought her eyes 
looked red.
> > >

No idea why it seems important, but I guess the conclusion to jump to 
is that Fudge questioned her about the incident and she was upset 
about it...Boring, I know.  I guess it's just one of those things 
that jumped out at me that will turn out to be completely meaningless.

Taryn:
I always thought she had been crying because of the situation with Hagrid. *scratches her head*
