When I read that, something stirred in my brain. I'm just writing as
it occurs to me, not a thoroughly worked-out idea.

The three comrades all have very different backgrounds in their
experiences of home life and home comforts--most obviously different,
of course, that between the Weasleys' domestic life and Harry's
experiences in the Dursleys' home. 

How do their different responses to the period they spend on their
own, in a tent (and, because of magic, more comfortably than humans
camping)?
