"GoF Ch.25
This isn't the first time that someone has waited outside the Gryffindor common 
room to let Harry out at night. So if the portrait can't be opened from the inside, how 
the heck do they get out in the morning?"

Whenever someone opens the Gryffindor common room door for Harry, it's because 
he's invisible. For example, when Hermione opened it (from the outside) for Harry 
(GOF), it was because he was invisible. The Fat Lady would be suspicious if she swung 
forward and no one left or came in!

"SS/PS Ch.15
Firenze says, about drinking unicorn blood: "You have slain something pure
and defenceless to save yourself, and you will have but a half-life, a
cursed life, from the moment the blood touches your lips." But then he
implies that the Elixir of Life will negate this effect. So is Voldemort in
his new body still cursed from drinking the unicorn blood?"

Somewhere, in one of the books, I sure it says that Quirrel would be the person who 
was cursed from drinking the blood, not Voldemort because it touched Quirrel's lips. 
So no, Voldemort would not be cursed.


Great questions, I'd like to know the answers to them too...
