"
 all he could feel was Hermione's hand as he was squeezed through space and time, away from the Burrow, away from the descending Death Eaters, away, perhaps from Voldemort himself"  - p.134

Alla:

Away from Voldemort himself 
. Ah Harry.


"Never mind what they're called!" said Hermione a little hysterically. "How did they find us? What are we going to do?"
Somehow her panic seemed to clear Harry's head" – p.139

Alla:

So I guess Hermione's panic is still supposed to be her only flaw?

"Harry, I know you really want to go to Godric's  Hollow, but I'm scared
 I am scared at how easily those Death Eaters found us yesterday. It just makes me feel more than ever that we ought to avoid the place where your parents are buried, I'm sure they'd be expecting you to visit it." – p.153

Alla:

Yeah she is definitely not bursting with confidence, huh?


" I know – but how did you escape the Inferi?"
Kreacher did not seem to understand.
"Master Regulus told Kreacher to come back," he repeated.
*****
"The house-elf's highest law is his master's bidding," intoned Kreacher. "Kreacher was told to come home, so Kreacher came home" – p.161

Alla:

It is official, lol, Kreacher is more powerful than Voldemort. Seriously, sometimes I wonder is there something house elves cannot do.


`Wizarding wills are examined by the Ministry, remember? They'll know Sirius left  you your place" – p.166

Alla – Wait, what? Ministry examined Dumbledore's will, but do we know that they read every single wizarding will? Oh dear, wizarding law seems more and more interesting in a bad way.

"Right, we've got a few questions for you," Harry told Mundungus, who shouted at once: "I panicked, OK? I never wanted to come along, no offence, mate, but I never volunteered to die for you, an' that was bleeding' You-Know-Who come flying at me, anyone woulda got outta there, I said all along I didn't wanna do it-" p.181

Alla:

Oh Mundungus, I do not like you at all, but I sympathize. No fun being used and abused and forced into risking your life, huh? I think you are stupid in that you do not realize that you can run from Voldemort and save yourself, but I certainly think that if you do not want to fight, it should be your own choice.

But hey, at least you have not been manipulated into fighting by playing on your guilt over the death of the woman you loved, OR you had not been manipulated into return to Hogwarts by using the son of the same woman who was your favorite student.
