Advanced Potions:

A while back the likelihood of Harry being admitted to Advanced 
Potion class came up.

The general assumption was made that you need an O to get in, but I 
am rereading OOTP and an exact grade was never mentioned. It might be 
more reasonable to assume then that an E or higher is necessary to 
get into Potions.

I have always imagined that an E is not out of reach for Harry but an 
O would be (He definitely does not like potions class).


Apparating:

My take on Apparating has always been that it is similar to Vanishing 
spells and thus it is more difficult to do than vanishing a rat.

Compare the remarks about splinching and the bit about the wriggling 
rat's tail left over from Ron's attempt at vanishing it.

The reason that you can Vanish/Apparate yourself is then that it is 
easier to form a complete picture in your mind of yourself than it is 
to do so for another person.

Voldemort might be able to do it to a willing person but very few 
other people would be able too.

I do agree with bboymin that doing it to a person that is not 
willing, especially a wizard would be looking for trouble.
