The idea of someone else having control over my memory or being able to read my thoughts disturbs me a great deal more than the mechanics of what we later find out about the Horcruces (correct plural there :P). But I am mental, so hey.
But surely not in the hands of Dumbledore and Hermione and people like that? We can trust them with anything!
Besides, we're at war so we need to be able to eavesdrop and stuff.
See, that's the thing about all this copying off other people. Sooner or later, it's going to occur to you that you might have good marks, but it's still an empty victory because you haven't learnt anything.
Sort of like the thing about going on and on about how people are lost without you. Yeah, you've got the friends, but it's still an empty victory because you have to work for them to be their friend.
Harry, in his quest to search for the curiously absent Draco on the map, neglects to notice Ron consuming some stale Chocolate Cauldrons left by Romilda Vane.
Which Harry kept, for some reason. Perhaps after years with the Dursleys he just habitually hoards candy. Would have been funnier if Harry had eaten the cauldrons some time this summer.
How lucky that he knows what to do when a teacher is unable!
In the last book I hope Harry saves someone with the Heimlich maneuver while doctors look on in a panic.
