* MugglesDoItBetter: The first items that Harry buys for Hogwarts are ordinary school supplies (i.e. notebooks, pens, etc.) instead of the Wizarding worlds’ parchment and quills.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Lockhart comes across as shallow and superficial, but is actually pretty intelligent and cunning, such as when:
** He out argues Dumbledore in the legality surrounding how Harry should have been raised.
** He’s made a successful career despite being a muggleborn and only being very good at one spell (memory modification) and decent at glamour spells.
** He was a Ravenclaw and therefore had to solve a riddle every time he wanted to enter his dorms.
** He is very good at deducing facts and thought of looking up the Dursley’s address in the phonebook; something that no other wizard in the series had thought to do.

* TheUnfettered: “…a complete and utter lack of regard for trifles like 'truth' and 'integrity', and memory charms were really the secret to all of Gilderoy's not inconsiderable success.”
* [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer When All You Have Is A Memory Charm]]: And yet, it’s surprisingly effective.
