Pat:

Good point, Mary.  I've been trying to think what JKR means, too.

Also add to the list:

Harry discovers why Hagrid was expelled, even though it was a set-up 
by Riddle.

And isn't this the one where many of the students say that they are 
muggle-borns?  Anyone have a list of all of the ones mentioned?  
Some of them would be good candidates for the HBP.
