Kelleyaynn:

Since there are seven bottles, and seven is such an important number 
in these books, I'm sure there is more meaning to the bottles than 
just that task in book 1. I had a Harry Potter book club with my 
students last month, and a couple of them came up with the idea that 
each of the bottles represents one of the books. It was interesting, 
as your analysis of the bottles/quidditch positions/teachers is.
