"You won't, will you, Harry?" said Hermione.
"Because Black's not worth dying for," said Ron. - p.159


Alla:

Apparently he is, sigh as Harry discovers in OOP as we know.

"Won' make no diff'rence!" sobbed Hagrid. "Them Disposal devils, 
they're all in Lucius Malfoy's pocket! Scared o' him! An' if I lose 
the case, Buckbeak..." - p.162

Alla:

Yeah, Lucius lost LOTS of power after CoS... NOT if you ask my opinion.

And looking at this post DH I suddenly wondered if Malfoys will have 
any sort of power in post Voldemort world. Frankly, I would not put it 
past them.


"Yeh've no idea," said Hagrid quetly. "Never bin anywhere like it. 
Thought I was goin' mad" - p.163

Alla:

Hagrid was there for a very short period of time and he ALREADY 
thought he was going mad. I do wonder how much longer he would have 
lasted there.


Professor Trelawney behaved almost normally untill the very end of 
Christmas dinner, two hours later. Full to bursting with Christmas 
dinner, and still wearing their cracker hats, Harry and Ron got up 
first from the table and she shrieked loudly.
"My dears! Which of you left his seat first? Which/"


Alla:

Remember how we used to argue whether this one will be true prediction 
of dear Trelawney or another joke? Well, if we think that Harry left 
his table first, do you think in light of the ending it counts as true 
prediction?

I mean of course if you are absolutely sure that Harry only had near 
death experience, it does not count, but I am more inclined to believe 
that he died and came back and I do not think that DD's words about in 
his head are phrased definitively.


"Harry cast about for a happy memory. Certainly, nothing that had 
happened to him at the Dursleys was going to do." - p.176

Alla:

Not one happy memory during eleven years and other summers, not ONE. 

I find it very sad


"Lily, take Harry and go! It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off--" - 
p.178


Alla:

Hmmm, I am glad that James says same thing at least in DH.
