Potioncat:
For quite some time the list had been expecting one of Harry's 
friends to abandon or betray him. Some thought it would be Neville, 
who was seen as comparable to Peter from the Marauders. Others 
thought Ron would be tempted away from Harry by money.

I've always been amused at how close, but not quite there this group 
comes. Maybe it's just with so many theories some of them had to be 
close.

Back to Ron, Harry and Hermione. Isn't it interesting that Ron wanted 
to come back at once. But the very defenses his friends were using 
were keeping him out. Never once did it cross their minds that they 
were making it impossible for him to return.

And all of a sudden, this reminds me of Percy!
