Bart:
	EXCELLENT point. Let's hope that JKR does this in Book 7.

	I've been waiting for Harry to finally differentiate between what was 
important and what was not since OOP. As I have mentioned before, I 
would have loved for a Slytherin, especially one who was in the "Weasley 
is King" group, to join the DA, and, when challenged, give a withering 
look worthy of Phineas Black and say, "That's children's games. This is 
real life!" At least he has learned that fighting Voldemort is more 
important than good grades and teachers' praise.
