Slughorn’s tampered with his memory, so it looks ridiculously fake. Too bad he didn’t know any of that *waves hand* complex memory magic like Tom knows.
Yes, we can't use Veritaserum or anything to find the memory, because Slughorn's so incredibly talented and accomplished. But at the same time so inept that Harry 'Dumb as a Box of Hair' Potter spots how dodgy his memory looks. And Riddle can frame someone so expertly that even they don't realise it, but he needs Sluggy's help with Horcruxes?
Why is Hermione offering ridiculous alternatives for who Draco’s "Master" is? His father? Huh?
Hermione reads too much fanfic.
Charlie’s bigger than Ron. Oh, we have no doubt of that Ron. Mmmm. Charlie...
I'm totally imagining Charlie swooping in, muscles flexed, to rescue Draco in Book Seven now, you realise. I like the bit where Ron mentions how the ever-so-brave and open Fred and George avoid laughing at people who are bigger than them, preferring to do that behind their back.
I love that Ron’s pretty much forgotten to be pissy to Hermione while she’s been planning all day how she was gonna snub him.
And the first thing she did on arrival was visit Hagrid. She's crying out for help, people! I kinda liked her not giving in on the grudge-bearing when Harry asked, though (especially with his super-lame 'But...Christmas...' - yeah, you really made sure everyone around you had a wonderful holiday in OotP!) since he wouldn't forgive Ron in GoF until he felt like it. But yeah, Ron's cute. Can't imagine him smirking over Marietta now, or snubbing Cedric a year later. (No-one touch a book, I don't want my illusions shattered!)
Dumbledore was forced to jinx Dawlish. How can people doubt what house this guy was in?
Could we call this...a counter-jinx? ;) He probably just incapacitated him in a minor and temporary way, like making him hilariously quadraplegic or something. I really want to pound Albus' withered old face here, especially when he's so patronisingly 'amused' at being followed (where is he going, anyway? I'm sure we were told, but I never mustered enough interest to pay attention.) and his fake modest when pretending to be insulted that Scrimgy would call Harry 'Dumbledore's Man.'
Ginny doesn’t sound enthusiastic about meeting Dean. Glad to have you back, Dean.
We'll ignore the fact that she's never sounded enthusiastic about Dean. This, combined with her confession later that all the times she's purposely given the impression of being over Harry were fake since she still fancied him, her never behaving around Michael or Dean in the way we're apparently supposed to assume she does while crushing ie. shyly, and her swiftness in finding fault with them (Michael didn't sound sufficiently subservient towards Gryffindor!) but never with Harry in no way indicates that she's dating other guys purely to attract Harry, though. (I always loved the way Ginny/Dean were described as 'having problems for ages' and being 'rocky' as if they were a middle-aged divorcing couple, rather than two teenagers who are together out of choice.)
He and his cousin will amuse themselves for hours with their Apparition skills and Irish names!
Someone should do fanart of Seamus in a green suit carrying a pig under each arm.
