Harry Potter A-ha MomentsI've been re-reading the Harry Potter books during free time at the office. Haha! There are parts that tickled my curiosity and I picked up some stuff that were mentioned in Book 6 which were unknowingly mentioned in the previous five books. I'm actually still in Book 5.
1. Sectumsempra - When Harry used this on Draco Malfoy in Book 6 (he saw it written in the Half-Blood Prince's book of potions not knowing it belonged to Snape), the description was that Malfoy got gashes on his face and was bleeding. In Book 5, when Harry entered Snape's most embarrassing memory of James and Sirius "torturing" Snape, Snape muttered a spell at James which caused a gash on his cheek, which also caused blood to sputter on his robes. So Sectumsempra was already seen in Book 5.
2. When Dumbledore "left" Hogwarts after "Dumbledore's Army" was blabbed about, Umbridge became the new head of Hogwarts and appointed an Inquisitorial Squad composed mostly of Slytherins. Whatever did Snape say about it? He's in the Order, but he's a Slytherin whose favorite is Malfoy, plus he hates Umbridge, so where does that leave him? I was just wondering.
I was thinking of other stuff while reading the book but I can't seem to remember them now. Maybe next time.
