"I shouted at you before you left!" Mrs. Weasley said, starting to 
sob. "It's all I've been thinking about. What if You-Khow Who had got 
you, and the last thing I ever said to you was that you dind't get 
enough O.W.L.s? Oh Fred... George..." - p.146


Alla:

This quote just showed me again how continuous debates on this list 
influenced me. Not that I did not see it on the other topics, but I 
still find it highly amusing if I think about it, since I did not 
quite realise the influence as much as I did realise it for example 
on Snape and Dumbledore plan in HBP

Do you know that even though I did not think that Molly loves Twins 
any less than other kids of hers, I indeed started thinking that she 
shows them less affection and admonishes them all the time and that 
is all she does?

Oy, no she does not IMO. I think this quote shows that she loves them 
dearly and worries about them and do not really want to scream at 
them, but cannot help herself because she worries about them.

I was glad to see that in HBP (or was it OOP?) she acknowledges their 
talents for business, etc.


"They want compensation for their ruined property. Mundungus 
Fletcher's put in a claim for twelve-bedroomed tent with en-suite 
Jacuzzi, but I've got his number. I know for a fact that he was 
sleeping under a cloak propped on sticks" - p.151

Alla:

Hi Dung! Love another casual mention of him.


"... Father actually considered sending me to Durmstrang rather than 
Hogwarts, you know.

*******

But Mother didn't like the idea of me going to school so far away" - 
p.165


Alla:

Heee, I do remember this quote, but it is just soo cool how she 
casually shows that Lucius following Narcissa's directions in DH is 
really nothing new.


"While still alive they did divide
Their favorites from the throng,
Yet how to pick the worthy ones
When they were dead and gone" - p.177


Alla:

We have another Sorting Hat song in chapter 12 here and actually I am 
suddenly wondering how founders picked kids during their life time? I 
mean, it is easy to see purebloods, but how did they see the bravest, 
the hard workers, etc?

Did they all just legilimence every student who wanted to enter 
Hogwarts?
