Alla:

Could you clarify please what you meant here? I mean I definitely 
thought about Occlumency lessons, but relaxation supposed to be sort 
of opposite to intense Quidditch like training, no?

Or are you saying that had Harry been exercising physically he would 
not have need to close his mind, that would have occurred 
automatically maybe?

Alla:

Snort, oh yeah. I will be the first one to scream - stop abusing him 
you greasy git.

Agreed.

Alla:

It is Voldemort, if Quirrell speaks the truth in chapter 17. DUH 
Alla one more time.

It is the forgetting such things that makes me want to reread the 
books again and again among other reasons.
