I loved that line. 

Incidentally, Miss Granger has made a fundamental semantic error, treating "can" and "will" as synonymous:

"Figure out how that happened, and then I can tell you how I caught that Confrigo."
...
"He told me that if I could explain how he did it, he would explain how he caught Malfoy's spell."

No, Miss Granger, he told you he could tell you.  I have to say, though, Doug should've made it clearer to her that he lacks the ability rather than the willingness to fully explain how he did it.  But she should've recognized that he didn't expect the gold handprint, and deduced that it's Wild Magic.

As far as I'm aware, Wild Magic isn't something that normally exists in HP, so why would she have deduced that that is what Doug had used?
