Mike:
OK Inge, I'll play. :-)

Since you were on PoA; 
1) The whole Shrieking Shack scene bugs the bejeezes out of me, 
especially how Sirius is downright antagonistic towards Harry in 
the beginning of the scene, practically begging Harry to kill him. 
Saying things like, "there will be only one murder here tonight" 
and responding to Harry's accusation of killing his parents with,
"I don't deny it." Talking lucidly while speaking cryptically to a 
kid standing over you with a wand and murder on his mind. Huh?

In OotP;
2) Why was the MoM devoid of people (not counting the hidden DEs) 
when Harry and the gang show up? If it is this easy to get into the 
Hall of Prophesies, why bother with the whole ruse? Why didn't 
Voldemort just show up after his DEs cleared whatever path they 
cleared (by all appearances, not much clearing was needed), to take 
the prophesy himself and skeedaddle? It took all night for the 
Ministry and Fudge to show up and that was just barely in time to 
see Voldemort before he disapparates. Who was suppose to be guarding 
the hen house?
