"I heard -- that awful boy -- telling her about them - years ago," 
she said jerkily. - p.32.

Alla:

So who was absolutely positively sure that it was Snape?

I certainly entertained the possibility as very valid, but was 
willing to consider other candidates.

As I mentioned before, I was pretty sure by DH that Snape/Lily are 
coming. I mean, I cannot say that I figured out as early as some 
people on list did and I also cannot say that I was hundred percent 
sure, but to me Snape talking obsenities (IMO) about James and being 
silent on the subject of Lily was HUGE sign. But since I hated the 
idea I was hoping for something else.

Oh well, at least it was not a surprise for me.


"Aunt Petunia uttered a soft scream.
"His soul? They didn't take - he's still got his---" - p.34

Alla:

Hmmm, Petunia certainly seems to believe in souls existance. 
Interesting.


"The arrival of the dementors in Little Whinging seemed to have 
caused a breach in the great, invisible wall that divided the 
relentlessly non-magical world of Privet Drive and the word beyond. 
Harry's two lives had somehow become fused and everything had been 
turned upside down: The Dursleys were asking for details about the 
magical world and Mrs. Figg knew Albus Dumbledore; dementors were 
soaring around Little Whinging  and he might never go back to 
Hogwarts. Harry's head throbbed more painfully" - p.37


Alla:

I find this quote to be so interesting. I remember wondering whether 
Muggle and WW world would ever meet each other on the larger scale 
than some people going back and forth (parents, muggleborns) and this 
one seemed like foreshadowing that it may be.

Till JKR said that it is not going to happen that is and then I was 
thinking that maybe it is a warning against the chaos that may happen 
if it will happen.
