Ginny being a budding Quidditch star because she
borrowed her brothers' brooms and flew around the garden at home -
and who threw bludgers at her? The garden gnomes? Or Bellatrix - of
all people! - being able to impart occlumency skills to Draco. It
kind of deflates the uniqueness of things.

It could for me as well...if I hadn't seen my four year old cousin play
baseball by himself several years ago. There were times when there were no
kids around and the adults weren't available to play with him, so he used to
throw the ball up, grab the bat and bunt the ball, then run around all the
bases.  It was something else to watch that kid play. Usually, he had others
to play with him, but he made a better than fair shot when he didn't. He
played Little League Ball and then on his Jr. and Senior High teams, and now
plays at his Jr. college.  And I'm not generally surprised when reading any
book to discover that whatever was rare or obscure is used more often than
one might expect under normal circumstances because by default it has become
part of the plot.
