Thanks ^^. I thought that, although Hagrid seldom makes speeches, it would be very in character for him to publicly claim Harry as his son, not least because, after his childhood, having someone proudly announce him as a member of their family would do wonders for his self-esteem.

I think Ron is rather similar, personality wise, to Percy; hyper-sensitivity when it comes to themselves and a surprising lack of perception for the feelings of others, combined with a liberal dose of bull-headedness, does not make a good combination. Luckily, Ron has other, more positive traits, which will stand him in good stead.

Harry was in transfiguration class: "Having spent most of his Transfiguration class staring out of the window, Harry was not wholly surprised when, at the end of lesson, Professor McGonagall rather sharply asked him to stay behind". Hermione (the petite, bushy-haired witch), was dragging Ron outside because she was angry with him, thinking that their feud was the reason why Harry was distracted and, therefore, about to recieve a ticking off from McGonagall. I wanted to create the sence that Harry was stumbling through his school day with his head in the clouds and, therefore, I used subtle markers of events rather than heavily marking people and places. Unfortunately, it seems that this might have meant that the circumstances were not too clear.
