Entropy:

Okay, I don't think the problem isn't that Harry, Ron, and Hermione
don't want to control Peeves.  I think JKR does not want to control
Peeves!

I'm re-reading GOF right now, and noticing some similarities between
Peeves' pranks and the Triwizard Tournament tasks.  For instance,  
Peeves absolutely soaks everyone with water balloons as they return
from their summer holiday; later, he upturns a pot over Harry's head.
Seems to mirror the second task (at the lake) and Fleur's bubble-head
charm.  The next time we see Peeves, he is tossing chairs at Harry,
pretending that he wants him to.  For the first task, Harry
desperately tries to learn the Summoning Charm in order to retrieve
his broomstick.  

I'm only about halfway through, so I'm going to keep an eye out for
Peeves.  Has anyone else noticed that Peeves foreshadows other things
in earlier books?  Let me know.
