Here's my latest nitpicky question: 
when Harry casts the Patronus in OotP to save himself
and Dudley, why does the MoM make a big deal about the 
fact that he did this in front of a Muggle (Dudley)?  
This is mentioned in the letter he gets from the MoM, 
and Fudge even goes out of his way to emphasize this 
at the hearing.

If the *main* issue was that Harry was underage, that's 
fine as far as it goes... but then why bring up the fact 
that Dudley is a Muggle at all?  It just doesn't seem 
relevant.

Rebeka:
That got me too... The only explanation I got from the
chapter was that Fudge tried to use everything, even a
lame excuse as that, to demoralize Harry before the WW.
