I was going to wait, but since someone else already posted...

Spinners End: First thing that came to mind- no apostrophe. No one is dying in chaper 2. Almost sounds like a place (think: Godrics Hollow).

Draco's Detor: Note the apostrophe here. If you think about the definition of detor (from Webster's; As a noun- a deviation from a direct course or the usual procedure; especially : a roundabout way temporarily replacing part of a route. As a verb-1 : to send by a circuitous route 2 : to avoid by going around : BYPASS ) Ok so, Draco gets send in around about way, but does it mean literaly (as in Harry sends Draco off course) or figurately, as in Draco takes a change from his normal muggle and harry hating self to align with Harry to accomplish a goal. Its a detour because he surprises himself. For some reason, I want to think its the later of the two.

Fleix Felicis: Sounds like a spell to me.

Don't really have time to think about the other 2 much...but Draco's Detour intrigued me a bit.
