ME:
I thought that Vold *had* transferred powers to Harry through the 
curse scar, including the ability to speak Parseltongue, and other, 
still unrevealed powers that made the Sorting Hat consider putting 
him in Slytherin in his first year. 

Is there a consensus?

And -- Neville definitely is coming into his own now, and I agree 
that his wand breaking is important, because now his Gran will have 
to take him to Ollivander and get him a custom one, and for sure 
he'll be able to do better magic.

I'm so angry at Gran for letting Neville use his father's wand all 
this time, and for insulting him that he's bad at magic. Maybe if 
she had got him his own wand, he wouldn't be having so much trouble. 
I know, I know, she probably thought it was nice for him to have his 
father's wand, but we all know that effective magic cannot be 
performed without your own special wand.

Ugh, I'm so, so resentful of Gran!!!!
