> Felix Felicis Questions:

Alla:

You ROCK. Great questions, let me see if  I can add something that 
was not said yet.

Potioncat: 
3.Harry makes some difficult decisions as a Quidditch captain. In
what ways has he grown?

Alla:

I think this was always part of Harry's nature - to do what's "best 
for the team", I am not saying that he follows that perfectly, but 
IMO he tries. He IS still uncomfortable of hurting people that is 
why he corners Dean IMO.


> 6. Do you think Malfoy had to "bribe" Harper to play? Does Harper 
> know Malfoy is up to something?

Alla:

Malfoy almost murdered two of his classmates in this book. What is 
bribery for him? IMO piece of cake. I don't know whether he resolved 
to bribery though, since Harper seems the "same sort" as Malfoy is, 
since JKR IMO hints pretty clearly that Harper shares "purebloodism" 
ideology. ("Your blood traitor pal") He is an episodic character, 
but IMO shares usual Slytherin mindset.

I don't know, I speculate he can be friendly with Malfoy and play as 
a favor to him or not.

But THANK YOU for this question, I completely forgot "your blood 
traitor pal" comment. It shows to me that even so tiny Slytherin 
characters share the same mindset.

 
> 10. How can Ron really be mad at Hermione for something that 
happened 
> two years ago? Is he using Lavender, or does he need/want someone 
who 
> admires him?

Alla:

I can just agree with those who said that Ron needs someone who 
admires him. "You will be brilliant, Ron" - I was SO grateful to 
Lavender for this comment.


Thank you!

Alla
