I love PoA very much, but Cat, Rat and Dog starts what probably is 
my very favorite sequence of events in the book ever ( as I am sure 
for many people)

We discussed those chapters gasillion times and there is really not 
much what jumped at me as particularly new, but some little things 
did. Here we go.


"Lie down," he said quetly to Ron, "You will damage that leg even 
more." - p. 249

Alla:

Oh yeah in retrospect that is exactly how murderers act, they worry 
about the leg of their potential victim that they damaged. LOL.


"He had forgotten about magic - he had forgotten that he was short 
and skinny and thirteen, whereas Black was a tall, full-grown man. 
All Harry knew was that he wanted to hurt Black as badly as he could 
and that he didn't care how much he got hurt in return..." - p.249

Alla:

To me it was always a pure joy and emotional rollecoaster to watch 
how Harry's emotions change from pure hatred to desire to live with 
Sirius. LOVE. But post DH I am thinking that I really should not be 
surprised much upon Harry willing to accept the truth about Snape 
and forgiving him. To me Harry aptly demonstrated that he is able to 
listen and absorb the facts no matter how improbable they seem and 
let go of hatred in those chapters.


"Yes, indeed," said Lupin. " It took them the best part of three 
years to work out how to do it. 
********
Finally , in our fifth year, they managed it. They could each turn 
into a different animal at will." - p.259


Alla:

So wait, does it mean that they started to try in their second year?


'So we've heard," said Lupin more coldly, "I'd like to clear up one 
or two little matters with you, Peter if you'd be so-" - p.269

Alla:

Just really wanted Remus to speak to some other people in the later 
books and heck, at the end of PoA the similar way he speaks to Peter 
here.
