Geoff:
I've just started on a second read of DH having had two or 
three days for my high and low feelings to stabilise after 
the first go.

Second time around, you always start to notice things that 
slipped past you on the first and I picked up again on a few 
lines I chuckled at previously, one of which is an extension of 
a quote already made.

They both occur in the chapter where Harry leaves Priver Drive:

'"This is different, pretending to be me-"
"Well, none of us really fancy it Harry," said Fred earnestly. 
"Imagine if something went wrong and we were stuck as specky, 
scrawny gits forever."
Harry did not smile.'
(DH "The Seven Potters" p.46 UK edition)

I did!

'"You can't do it if I don't cooperate, you need me to give you 
some hair"
'Well, that's the plan scuppered," said George.  "Obviously, there's 
no chznce at all of us gettign a bit of your hair unless you 
cooperate."
"Yeah, thirteen of us against one bloke who's not allowed to 
use magic; we've got no chance," said Fred.
"Funny," said Harry. "Really amusing."'
(ibid. p.47)

'Fred and George turned to each other and said together, "Wow 
- we're identical!"
"I dunno, though, I think I'm still better-looking," said Fred, 
examining his reflection in the kettle.'
(ibid. p.49)

I do so love the twins' deadpan humour. :-)
