Allie:

I thought that Dudley had left him a cup of tea as a nice gesture.  
If Dudley wanted to leave a booby-trap outside Harry's door, surely 
he would have used something larger than a teacup!

Allie:

I actually wondered why Harry forgot all about the healing charm he 
already knew, Episkey.  If it was good enough to fix his bloody nose 
and someone else's bloody lip, it certainly would have worked on his 
finger.  Short-term memory loss by Harry or by JKR.  Into what 
subject would "healing spells" fall?  Charms?
