"Filch was the Hogwarts caretaker, a bad tempered, failed wizard who 
waged a constant war against the students and, indeed, Peeves" - p.99

Alla:

Erm... is failed wizard now a synonym for Squib?

"Yeah, loads," said Ron. He and Hermione had finally forgotten their 
squabble about Crooklshanks in the face of Harry's dissapointment" - 
p.114


Alla:
I mentioned many times how much I adore how Trio's friendship is 
portrayed. But this quote to me just perfectly sums up so many 
things. Ron and Hermione always postpone everything else to support 
Harry, be it something as huge as fighting Voldy or just making feel 
better.

LOVE.



"He thought for a moment of telling Lupin about the dog he'd seen in 
Magnolia Crescent, but decided not to. He did not want Lupin to 
think he was a coward, especially since Lupin already seemed to 
think he couldn't cope with Bogart" - p.116


Alla:

Hmmm, just another possibility to reflect how much easier the life 
would have been for some people in Potterverse, if they just told 
each other things.

Well, at least here Harry gives some sort of justification LOL.


"A shower of brilliantly coloured sweets fell into Harry's lap. It 
was dusk, and Ron and Hermione had just turned up in the common 
room, pink faced from the cold wind and looking as though they'd had 
time of their lives." - p.118

Alla:

Bickering, shmikering. They had time of their lives :-) I love how 
JKR throws in staff like that. Of course they did, they were made 
for each other after all :-)



"Because the castle's protected by more than walls, you know," said 
Hermione. "There are all sorts of enchantments on it, to stop people 
entering by stealth. You can't just apparate in there" - p.123

Alla:

This is usually a quote to show that you cannot apparate in 
Hogwarts, yes?

But does it? Hermione does not say that you can't apparate in there. 
She says you can't **just** apparate in there. So does it mean that 
you CAN apparate under certain conditions if you break the 
enchantments or something?


"Oh yes," said Dumbledore coldly. "But I am afraid no Dementor will 
cross the threshold of this castle while I am Headmaster" - p.125

Alla:

Does it mean that DD knows how to repel Dementors full proof? Or 
does it just mean that his Patronus is extremely strong?


"Silence!" snarled Snape. "Well,well, well, I never thought I'd meet 
a third-year class who wouldn't even recognise werewolf when they 
saw one" - p.129


Alla:

HAHAHAHAH. OMG the bastard is not just giving them that essay, he is 
flat out telling him that Remus is a werewolf, I never realised that 
in the past. Is he not? Did not recognise werewolf when they saw 
one. How much more suggestive can he be?
