Quote #7
MCGONAGALL: Potter, this is Oliver Wood. Wood, I have found you a Seeker!
Harry loves Quidditch. More importantly, he's very good at it: just another side of himself that he finally has a chance to discover at Hogwarts after eleven years of virtual slavery.
Quote #8
RON: I'm telling you, it's spooky. She knows more about you than you do.
HARRY: Who doesn't?
This is the downside to fame: everyone knows far more about Harry than he's comfortable with. It's doubly irritating since he's still trying to figure it all out… which isn't helpful when so many people know so much about him.
Quote #9
HERMIONE: You'll be okay, Harry. You're a great wizard, you really are.
HARRY: Not as good as you.
HERMIONE: Me? Books and cleverness? There are more important things. Friendship, and bravery.
A little humility from Hermione gives her know-it-all qualities some humanity. More importantly, she confirms who Harry is…and more importantly, confirms that he's becoming what he most wants to be.
