Just for the heck of it I just re-read PS and a few things jump out -

1.  Snape - he's much less prominent and not as nasty to Harry as in 
future.  I wonder if his character took on a life of its own after the 
first book was written.
2.  The overall tone of the book is so light and fluffy that reading 
each page is a delight.  I suppose she really *was* writing for 
children at first.
3.  Now that I know to question these things - how did Dumbledore know 
that the PS was in danger?  How did Quirrell know which vault to break 
into?  How did Quirrell get down there to begin with?  Why wasn't he 
trapped inside the vault?  It is kind of funny that DD told Snape, "Do 
keep an eye on Quirrell for me, won't you?"
