> 2.	What was your first thought when you realized that Filch was taking Kwikspell course?

As someone else said (cant find post) it reminded me of the adverts you saw on the back of comics.

> 4.	Would you like to go to Deathday party?

Out of interest I would go. But if I had a heads up about the refreshments I would make sure I had a big dinner before I went haha.

> 5.	Obviously we know now that Draco was not Slytherin Heir, but what do you think was the reason for him saying that?

For attention and possibly respect among likeminded Slytherins.

> 6.	Ginny is pale at the beginning of the chapter and Percy bullies her into taking the medicine. We find out later about the diary and Tom, but at this point, we don't know. Did Percy seem out of character in "bullying" her?

I read it as concern and as Harry has no older siblings (or indeed anyone that cared enough) to "bully" him into taking medicine he sees the concern as bullying.  Percy is bossy in this scene but I dont see him as a bully.

> 7.	Filch is a Squib as we know now and he is expected to clean up the messes that magical kids make all the time. Do you think it is too much to expect of him?

Well I think it explains how grouchy he can be, born a Squib and having to clean up after all the magical childrens mess!
