I'm re-reading PS/SS right now and there was a comment about 
Gringotts that stuck out to me.

"They had reached a snowy white building that towered over the other 
little shops.  Standing beside its burnished bronze doors, wearing a 
uniform of scarlet and gold, was --
'Yeah, that's a goblin,' said Hagrid..."  p 72

Why is the goblin wearing scarlet and gold, the colors of Godric 
Gryffindor?  It seems to perhaps add to the argument that GG was 
powerful/wealthy/nobility.

Another comment stood out to me from when Hagrid is explaining to 
Harry what Hagrid knows about Harry's parents. 

"Suppose the myst'ry is why You-Know-Who never tried to get 'em on 
his side before...probably knew they were too close ter Dumbledore 
ter want anythin' to do with the Dark Side." p 55

I don't know why this stood out to me so much, but the only 
other "myst'ry" Hagrid points out in that speech is why did 
Voldemort try to kill Harry, and that is turning out to be one of 
the main mysteries of the series.  So if the other comment is 
supposed to be a mystery too...perhaps we should be wondering about 
that as well.
