OK, this is maybe not the best of all possible threads for this post, but none other I saw struck me as more appropriate ... and this isn't worth creating a new thread for. Thing is, on re-reading I've come up with a few minor quibbles, and I figured if I talk them out here, they won't bother me as much.
First: Doug hears the name "Voldemort," and immediately assumes it's a nom-de-guerre (against the world), rather than perhaps being the heritage from a pretentious ancestor, to which the present Voldemort decided to live down. Granted, he's right in this case, but he never seems to have even considered the other option. One would think M'sieu "Black-Blood" might be more aware of such possibilities. So if he saw Lord Peter Death Bredon Wimsey's signature, would he sneer at him for being emo? (It actually rhymes with "teeth," by the way, but the spelling is still there.)
Second: Hermione thinks that Doug ("Professor Sangnoir!") seems to be knowledgeable about electronics and computers, "if that helmet of his was any indication." And yet I don't see any reference at this point in the story to his having used the helmet in front of her in any way that would indicate electronics and computers. There's no mention of the helmet at all when he arrives at Number 12 ... and he's not mentioned as using it the next day, either. So what did she see, that she already knows it's computerized? (The bit about playing music with it only comes out from Harry, much later in Chapter 2.)
Edit: Oops, I'd left out Lord Peter's other middle name.
