A couple more of my halfbrained ideas ...

... and some not so halfbrained.

There has recently been discussion as to why Harry
didn't figure out when he was running away from the
Dursleys that he could easily transfer his wizard
money into muggle money.  Well, for one thing he might
have been afraid that he couldn't go back into the
wizarding world because of what he did to Aunt Marge. 
More likely to me is that he is simply an idiot
teenage boy that doesn't think before he acts.  There
are many examples of this.  One is that he never
thinks that Snape HAS to keep acting contemptuous to
him no matter what because he not only has to keep
Harry's mind clear of anything incriminating, but his
own mind as well.  Voldemort can see both into Harry's
minds and Snapes (Snape HAS to let him or he will look
suspicious).

Also, the idiot boys (both Harry and Ron) have YET to
notice that Hermione spends as much time at the
Weasleys as Harry does.  Has it not occurred to them
that that is because she and her family are in as much
danger as Harry and the Weasleys are?  She has two
parents who love her and yet she spends all Summer
with the Weasleys and/or hiding out in Grimmauld
Place.  They only think of themselves and what they
are going through (or THINK they are going through). 
Granted, it's probably a blessing considering Harry
would feel guilty if he figured it out, but STILL!
Boys!

My theory on house elves.  I think there is going to
be a big uprising in book seven and many house elves
are going to end up helping win the war.  Look at how
powerful they are?  They cannot only apparate in and
out of Hogwarts (which supposedly can't be done), but
they are VERY powerful and don't need a wand to do
magic.  I believe that they have been suppressed by
humans out of fear of them and their power.  I don't
know how it began, of course, but somehow it started
and through the centuries they have begun to believe
that this is the way it's supposed to be and they are
bad if they think independently.  Just like in all
societies, though, there have got to be more like
Dobby around who recognize it for what it is and want
to be free.

And Hermione's constant kindness to those like
Kreacher have got to make a difference at some point.
