>Questions.
>
>1: What was your impression of Colin Creevey when he first appeared? Why do you think that JKR decided to introduce his character?

Prat. Twat. Irritation. Comic relief. Then he dies at the end. Are we glad, a little bit?

>2: Can you explain Oliver Wood's apparent obsession with Quidditch, way even beyond keen players like Ron?

Which of the two ends up as a professional? There's your answer.

>3: Did you find it unfair that the Slytherin team were given permission to practise when Gryffindor have already booked the pitch?

I did, but then at this point Slytherin were just the unfair guys. The real depth and understanding comes later in the series.

>5: Do you think that Hermione was perhaps biased and unfair in suggesting that money rather than talent got Draco onto the Slytherin team. Surely he >must have had some aptitude?

Hermione is loyal. Cormac McLaggen had aptitude too.

>6: Do you think that the spell Ron tried to use would actually have had Malfoy spitting slugs or did the backfire also alter the result? Is there anything >significant in the fact that the backfire produced a green light, a colour  which seems to be associated with more serious spells? Hermione certainly >thought it was a difficult curse.

No doubt at all. I wonder if Fred and George had ever tried that one out on Ron in his younger days?

>7: What do you believe prompted Gilderoy Lockhart to press for Harry's detention to be served with him?

Image, my dear boy, image!
