Lealiss:

1. Harry goes to great lengths to hide from Trelawney. In spite of this, he
overhears a fortune-telling. Trelawney's card reading has been the subject
of examination by those who know the Tarot. Why did Rowling put the card
reading in this chapter? Is it necessary foreshadowing? Who is the "dark
young man, possibly troubled, one who dislikes the questioner"?

Tiffany: I have always thought that Harry was the one who disliked the
questioner, as he was hiding from Trelawney at the time. Not knowing
anything about tarot reading, I assume that the questioner would be the one
reading the cards.
