Me:
Some very good questions, and thank you for raising them. I had been a bit 
preoccupied with other events in the book and hadn't given it much thought. 
I shall have to go over that part again and see if I can find anything more. 
One thing though. When does the sorting hat say that about Ron? I thought it 
was only in TCTTMNBN or whatever the anagram is supposed to be. That thing 
with moving pictures.

As for the "Percy should have been a Slytherin" theory... it makes sense. He 
certainly fits the bill.

I really want to get to know some more of the Slyths. They seem to be 
composed of stupid ugly people, pretty evil people, and Snape, but I would 
hope that they have a bit more variety than that. I wonder if it's a very 
common occurence within a house to have several people who seem like they 
would be better off in another. I mean Percy isn't the only one who seems a 
bit out of place.
