• Micah connects the threads between Sirius and Harry in books 3 and 5.
• What is Hermione getting at by mentioning Harry's 'saving people thing'?
• Often times, Harry has legitimately been left to fix the Hogwarts problem and save people. Can we blame him?

• Umbridge's treatment of Snape is interesting, since she does trust he's as horrible as she is.
• What Hermione does works perfectly on Umbridge. Why?
• Why aren't the two other heads of House, Flitwick and Sprout, also members of the Order? Is Dumbledore skeptical of their loyalty, or is he just giving them a break??
