Valky:
Thankyou, Charme and Thankyou again for the link.

I do think you're onto something there too. Malfoy does a good job 
of trivialising it for us, with his "they scare easily.." comment. 
But when you think about it he scares pretty easily himself, 
possibly he was a bit shocked by the noise and was doing his usual 
job of trying to swagger it off, and look tough. Malfoys reaction if 
you take it this way kind of points the bang out as something he 
wasn't expecting. proble is they are so far away from the action we 
don't know anymore.

Now going back to Chapter 9 GOf to have a look at Mr Weasleys and Mr 
Diggory's accounts of what happened in the muggle teasing parade for 
clues.
