There's another strange thing that happens with Harry's
cloak at the beginning of HBP. Well, not strange exactly,
but slightly suspicious. I don't have a copy of my book
with me, but didn't Dumbledore take the cloak from Harry
at Slughorn's then give slip it into Harry's pocket when
they got to Hogwarts?
I remember finding it interesting because Harry was never
scanned for Dark Arts objects by Filch. He actually remarked
on it to Ron. This is contrary to my previous post, but is
it possible there was something DA about the cloak or
something else Harry was carrying that would lead JKR to
purposely state that Harry was never scanned? Or is
that point in the plot just so the readers know what measures
are in place to prevent bad things getting into the school?

Cheers, Nate.
