Random Thoughts

While lying down trying to get rid of a pounding
headache, the following questions came to mind
and just made me say Hmmmmm.

1.  Now that Percy is working, is he paying his
parents room and board?  Is that why he thinks
everyone in the house has to be very quiet and
why he doesn't have to share his room in GoF? 
(Yea, yea, I know what Ron says about why Percy
doesn't have to share his room.)  

2.  At what age do wizards move out from mummy
and daddy's and get their own place?  

3.  Are there special wizard realtors or do
wizards have to deal with Muggle realtors when
they want to buy a house?

4.  Why didn't Bill, Charlie or Mr. Weasley lend
Ron their dress robes for the Yule Ball?  Even a
bit big, it would have been better than what Ron
had to wear.  I'm assuming Fred and George were
wearing Bill and Charlie's old ones.  

5.  Why do the Weasleys keep buying the textbooks
second hand when the older kids could just pass
down their books?

6.  How powerful a wizard do you have to be in
order to snap your fingers and have ropes fly out
and bind someone as Quirrell does in PS?

7.  Why did Hermione lie about going after the
troll?  Was she supposed to have a pass to go to
the toilet, didn't have one and thought that was
worse?

8.  If Quirrell got through to the Philosopher's 
Stone, how come everything was able to reset
somehow, except the troll?

9.  Why didn't Harry just tell Quirrell what he
had previously seen in the Mirror of Erised, his
parents, instead of making something else up?

10.  Why did Lucius Malfoy have no choice but to
leave when Dooby told him too?  Is an elves
finger the equivalent of a wizard's wand?

11.  Was Harry able to throw off the Imperious
Curse put on him by Voldemort so easily because
they are connected by the curse that failed? 
Because, as Dumbledore has surmised, Voldemort
transferred some of himself to Harry?

12.  How were Crouch, Jr. and Wormtail able to
get past Moody's foe detectors so easily that
they were able to get into his house and
overpower him, granted, after a struggle?

13.  Why didn't anyone do the Priori Incantatem
spell on Sirius's wand to find out if he was the
one who had cast the spell that blew up the
street?  Why didn't he suggest that when he was
arrested?

14.  What happened to Wormtail's wand?  Was he
able to carry it down into the sewer in his
mouth?

15.  Didn't it strike the MoM strange that
Pettigrew's robes were intact but the spell was
powerful enough to disintegrate everything but a
finger?  And why didn't the finger disintegrate
as well?

16.  Why does Snape have an apparent phobia about
washing his hair?

17.  Why didn't everyone eventually get a trial
after the downfall of Voldemort?  Are there still
people in Azkaban who have never had a trial?

18.  Why would there still be a wizarding
contract for Harry if he didn't put his name into
the Goblet of Fire?  

19.  Just how much whiskey did the Beauxbaton
horses drink per day and did there need to be a
distillery working full-time to supply them?

20.  Can Dementors be killed?  If they can, why
hasn't someone gotten rid of those nasty things
by now?  Do Dementors have any positive purpose
at all?
