Shelley:

YES, YES that chest monster! I know she was trying to keep the book PG and 
all, but please. We all know that "something else" rises to the occasion 
when a boy really thinks about a girl. (I still remember telling a guy that 
I liked him and he immediately excused himself- he ran to the bathroom, 
thinking that everyone could see "it". The guy later became my husband, and 
told me the real story, but at the time he thought he would die of 
embarrassment.) I know a wet dream or two would have probably not been out 
of the ordinary, either. Maybe it was Rowling's way of trying to "keep it 
clean" while getting the point across that Harry was growing up?
