Alla:

Yes, I agree that Draco should have known many things - like if you 
don't bow to Buckbeak, he will kick you and painfully, but he did 
not. :o)


We don't know how much he knew about Dementors. But I think I will 
agree with you- calling it an attempted murder is a little harsh. How 
about we'll call it - attempt to seriously hurt Harry?

I think it is perfectly reasonable to assume that if you cause 
somebody to loose concentration while flying this person may fall off.

Don't you think? :)
