Hickengruendler:

Well, I think there are worse Flints in the books. If this really is 
a flint. Dennis could have just sneaked out in the castle, like some 
other students *coughHarrycough* did as well. Maybe he asked Colin, 
who asked Ginny, who asked the twins to help him, because he wanted 
to attend the meeting.

On topic about the similarities between Peter and the Creeveys: I 
think that this comparison is much closer as the one between Peter 
and Neville. (Neville is a loner and Peter a tag-along, except that 
they are both a bit on the chubby side, I see no similarities). I 
think if Harry were more like James and would enjoy this kind of hero-
worshipping, Colin could have a similar position in the group than 
Wormtail did. However, just because there are similarities does not 
mean, that Colin will turn out to be a traitor. In fact, I would be 
disappointed if a possible traitor were someone that relatively 
obvious.
