Whoohoo! I'm finished, so I just got my first look at this thread.
I noticed the whole British English thing too. Did you confirm it against the other books, or not? I've been meaning to look, to make sure I wasn't imagining it, but haven't gotten that far yet.
I'm dying to see what Harry got on his OWLS. I'm sure hoping they adjust the scoring on the Astronomy exam to account for the disturbance on the Hogwarts lawn!
Frankly, I'm thankful the death wasn't Lupin. My little sister and I both noticed that it was kinda glossed over, and both did double takes when he died.
I'm hoping that Harry and Snape will end up coming to more of an understanding in the next book. I seriously doubt that they will ever really like each other, but hope that considering what Harry saw in the Pensieve they can eventually at least gain a bit of respect for each other.
