He also refers to Harry as Potty in OotP.
  
"Oh, most think he's barking, the Potty wee lad, 
But some are more kindly and think he's just sad, 
But Peevsey knows better and says that he's mad-" Our charming 
Peeves, OotP US ed. pg. 247. 

This is one of the references used by the Mysteries of Harry Potter 
authors to justify their position that there is another Basilisk in 
the Camber of secrets.  I like to think of Peeves as the ultimate 
truth teller.  He really does seem to know everything, there is 
certainly no question that Harry spent his 5th year angry!

Sue, Who is horribly sad to see Fred and George leave Hogwarts, it 
will not be the same and hopes that Peeves hangs out through it all.  
We all need a few laughs as we bite our fingernails about Harry's 
next torment.
