Prisoner of Azkaban

[joywitch_z_curmudgeon]

Hey, all.  Haven't been around here in a while, but I just found a 
list I wrote last year so I thought I'd post it.  You see, I 
listened to the audio PoA and found that I noticed a lot of stuff, 
or, well, noticed it differently, maybe, when I listened than when I 
read.  I realized that the reason why PoA is my favorite book is 
because so many things turn out to be different than they seem at 
first.  Here's my list of them:

the BIG BLACK DOG is not a GRIM
CROOKSHANKS is not just an ordinary CAT
(from the POV of Stan) the kid on the bus is HARRY, not NEVILLE
HARRY is not a student at ST. BRUTUS'
SCABBERS is not a RAT
PETER PETTIGREW is not DEAD
SIRIUS BLACK is not a TRAITOR
SIRIUS BLACK is not a MURDERER
SIRIUS BLACK was not the Potters' SECRET KEEPER
SIRIUS BLACK is not a MUGGLE WHO ESCAPED FROM A MUGGLE PRISON
the SHRIEKING SHACK is not HAUNTED
the WHOMPING WILLOW was not COINCIDENTLY PLANTED the year Remus 
Lupin started at Hogwarts
REMUS LUPIN is not just sick every month
REMUS LUPIN is not exactly human
the DEMENTORS are not the best GUARDS
FUDGE is not a very good MINSTER OF MAGIC 
BUCKBEAK was not EXECUTED
the DEMENTOR at the Quidditch game was not REAL
HERMIONE is not just TAKING A LOT OF CLASSES
TRELAWNEY is not much of a SEER
then again, TRELAWNEY is not really a FRAUD
DRACO is not really HURT BY BUCKBEAK (ok, hardly anyone really 
thinks he is)
the SNEAKOSCOPE is not really DEFECTIVE

There's probably more...
