zgirnius:
I would disagree that this is stupid. Harry would naturally assume it 
was an Order member (well, if it was Snape, he would even be right to 
so assume...) or DA student who saw he was in trouble. Just as he, 
himself, had just helped out a couple of people who may or may not 
have noticed who it was that helped them.

> Hmm. Who vouched for Dobby in CoS? Well, you certainly can say that 
> he vouched for himself, but that's kind of stretching it, isn't it?

zgirnius:
My, you have a nasty suspicious mind. (I mean this in the best 
possible way...I would love ESE!Dobby!) It never occured to me to 
suspect him of anything in nay of my reads of CoS.

> Neri:
> Who challenged Ginny in CoS?

zgirnius:
I believe that Pippin does not consider her a guilty party in CoS. It 
was Riddle, controlling her mind through the Diary. And memory Tom 
was challenged by memory Dumbledore.
