*Honestly, you’d think if Slughorn was such a master of networking he’d think to find a more attractive name for his club. Though I guess given Wizarding humor the name is probably a plus. Don't "slug" have many meanings? Maybe they are all heavy drinkers. Or they go around clobbering people (when Voldemort was in it, they did.)
*Ron tells us Malfoy’s got a shriveled up hand, the Hand of Glory, though I’m not sure where he would have seen it. I thank Ron for mentioning it, though, since last I saw of the Hand of Glory Malfoy specifically didn’t have it. Mr. Weasley can have spotted it when he was in one of those night raids he had no reason to be in.
*On first reading I was all proud of myself for remembering that Harry’s version of the events at Madam Malkins was wrong. I'm sure Mrs Malkins pricked Draco's arm on purpose. Malfoys are no more the kind of customers a shopkeeper can be proud of.
*Harry shows how at home he feels at the Weasleys by acting like Molly’s very own slob of a teenaged son. Why wouldn't she wash his laundry, should he manage to scrape it from the bottom of his trunk? She already bring him breakfast in bed for no reason, beside sucking him up.
*Two bridesmaids in pale gold sounds quite tasteful to me. Damn that Fleur for her small acts of thoughtfulness! She is selfishly trying to save her own wedding from maroon and pink!
*Harry points out that if Draco wants something fixed at Borgin’s, it’s probably dark and dangerous. Mr. Weasley says he doubts it because…the Ministry raided the Manor and took away everything dark and dangerous. "That's why the thing stays at Borgin's, you dimwit!"
*Mrs. Weasley jogs after the train, waving to Harry. OMG Harry/Molly OTP! It’s just like JKR’s parents! Uh?
*Ginny walks away, her long red hair dancing behind her. Ron’s got a weakness for Veelas, Harry’s easily hypnotized by hair. If you focus on it you don’t have to look at the girlie body bits. It might as well be Cedric Diggory with that hair. Mmmm. Cedric…heroic like a Greek god. Absolutely not! Cedric was a blonde!
*Neville announces he was afraid his grandmother would be angry that his fighting against evil people brought attention to her family. Instead it turns out his risking his life makes him finally almost not an embarrassment to his dead father’s memory. And then people say that Snape is mean to Neville
*Luckily Voldemort chose Harry for “his own inscrutable reasons” Not really inscrutable, Harry. You are the one who is his equal and Neville is not. Even as a baby, the superiority was there. Just ask Dumbledore. Harry will not ask, but Dumbledore will tell him anyway.
*In the seventy years that Slughorn’s been creating a vast social network he apparently has not managed to pick up any subtly whatsoever. Well, that means that in the WW you don't need to be subtle to someone that's not important.
*Everyone’s there because they’re connected to someone influential. Except Ginny. Well, no, not except Ginny. Ginny is there because of her connection to the author Ginny is there because her dancing hair brings Harry to the car and keeps him there.
*Go Crabbe with the comic! I love Crabbe! And I love that Malfoy is friends with somebody who’s into comics! I’ll bet they’ve hung around in many stores while Crabbe picked out his monthly stash. "I didn't know that you could read." "I look at the pretty figures."
*Harry, meanwhile, is disgusted at Pansy looking as if anyone would like to be in her place, with Malfoy in her lap. Of course he is. In an healty relationship, the girl shows her love launching wild canaries against the boy.
*Yay Draco for not caring about Slughorn! Sure he’s probably telling himself that Voldemort’s club is much cooler. I cannot tell why, they were the same thing for a long time, after all.
*Of course this just must mean Pansy’s badly treated or subservient. And probably she’ll be beaten and raped. It always ends in being beaten and raped. Or she already has and she's got Stockholm Syndrome. Which she deserves.
