1: Who else laughed at Neville sending Flitwick flying across the room?
Me! Poor Flitwick gets so abused in that class 

2: It is very interesting to read Sirius' description of Crouch's methods in a post-9/11 world.
Hmmm not quite a strong correlation there. Sirius talks about how Crouch and the ministry started fighting fire with fire. We really haven't done that with the terrorists. Though one could make the argument that from their side, we are indeed terrorists who are killing innocent people over there. Hmmm I personally don't see it
*cough*Guantanamo*cough*
Keeping terrorists in prison is not the same as killing thousands of innocent people in the name of religion
I think you missed the point.
