Amey:
Harry didn't buy Firebolt, but he could easily afford it.

Amey:
I seem to remember the Hat's song about the House qualities, and it says that Gryffindor favoured bravery. There is no mention of blood preference. Anyways, there is no blood preference in any house except Slytherin (Even Prof. Binns confirms this in CoS).

Amey: 
I think he has those items because he is headmaster. He might even have items from other Founders (maybe except Slytherin.. but then remember what Prof. Binns says, he doesn't do Dark Magic doesn't mean he can't (not exact words), so there might be some other items which we have yet to see.

>> I don't think Snape is pretending.  I think he is vicious.


Amey:
This might sound stupid, but that is the exact reason I would prefer Snape (can't like Snape, sorry) more than Moody/Crouch. He is not pretending. So basically you know that if he is helping Harry (can't see him trying, but still remember Occlumency lessons), he will not backstab. And of course after all, there is this famous quote about known enemy being better.

>> akh: <snip> and I feel  he's likely to leave because he's either threatening

Amey:
Sorry for heavy snipping. But has anyone considered the situation that Sirius might have left 12,GP to Harry in his will, and so Dumbledore will keep Harry with Dursleys' for only time necessary to fulfill his charm (he calling it "Home"). And also he is 16, the same age when Sirius got his own house.

Amey:
Maybe moon... I think Mars will be somewhat safer... :)


Amey, hoping JKR doesn't need to go to moon after 7th part
