I'm still 700 posts behind so forgive me if I cover old topics.

Some random observations.

Snape: How much of his public attitude towards Harry was because he
hated James, and how much was "Secret Agent Snape" maintaining his cover.
Was he acting a part and doing an excellent job of staying in
character, at least some of the time?

Someone in the wizarding world could get rich in the wand aftermarket
by equiping them with a Wii controller type wrist strap.
Wizards always seem to be loosing their wands at inopportune times.

Has any one noticed that Xenophilius translates to "Strange Love"

As far as who got their magic late in life, I have a feeling that it
go edited out. It's like when you see the movie trailer 6 months
before the final edit and theirs a joke in the trailer that didn't
make the final cut of the movie.  I have a feeling the JKR had the
scene written in her head, and it just didn't work in the final
version.  In that case, my vote would go to Filch. Can you see him
picking up a dropped wand in the Battle of Hogwarts and finding out
that it works for him?
