** Alternatively, this might not be the same Nott - assuming he's the father of Theodore Nott, Harry's classmate, and that he didn't wait until his fifties or sixties to have a child (which is a possibility, especially in the wizarding world - see the age of Harry's grandparents when they had James), he might be the '''son'' of the original Nott, and thus be claiming to be Voldemort's most faithful follower because he was brought up in a Death Eater household before such things were common, and joined Voldemort while still very young himself.

* Fred and George Weasley's bet on the end of the Quidditch World Cup is an excellent bit of foreshadowing towards their HiddenDepths later on. They manage to realise that Ireland has 7 Firebolts, the better equipment (hence them winning the game by scoring lots of Quaffle goals), but that Bulgaria has the more skilled Seeker in Krum (hence Krum catching the Snitch).

* During the First Wizarding War, Barty Crouch Sr. sentenced many people to Azkaban without trial, including Sirius. It is likely Sirius wasn't the only one who was falsely accused and imprisoned because of him. There could still be innocent people there, who are either suffering in a HellholePrison for something they never did because of an overzealous prosecutor...or they could have died of the sheer psychological hell inflicted by dementors without ever being able to clear their names.

* Overlaps with FridgeHorror - it's mentioned that Sirius is reduced at one point to living off rats while on the run in dog form. While on one level, [[{{Squick}} ew,]] consider for a second who gave Sirius, Harry, and the others the slip last year and what Animagus form he took. Even for a dog, there are probably easier ways to get food (and Sirius admits to playing the part of a lovable stray to do just that). Could Sirius have been venting some frustrations? Or, better[=/=]worse yet, hoping if he killed enough rats, he'd stumble upon one in particular...?

* When Dumbledore reveals to Harry what happened to Neville's parents, his voice is noted to have "a bitterness Harry had never heard there before," though it makes sense at the time considering how horrifying the Longbottoms' fate was. [[spoiler:Then Book 7 comes around, and we learn exactly why a person being tortured until they lost their sanity would be particularly upsetting to Dumbledore.]]

* All of the interactions between Neville and Mad-Eye Moody take on a different light when you read knowing that he's actually [[spoiler:Barty Crouch Jr. Neville had tea with one of the Death Eaters who tortured his parents into permanent insanity, ''and he had no idea''. Considering how eager he is in the fifth book to have a go at duelling/killing Bellatrix Lestrange, how would he have reacted if he'd have known the truth about Crouch Jr.? Especially when you realise that Crouch Jr.'s demonstration of the Unforgivable Curses was probably some deliberate, rather twisted attempt at EvilGloating; he ''knew'' that Neville would react in the way that he did, so making him watch the spider being tortured was probably his way of displaying how it happened to Neville's parents]].

Removed the entry about Crouch being sorry, as the fact that he was potentially insane due to the Imperius and time at Azkaban make whether he was genuine or not during the TRIAL dubious and up to interpretation. He wasn't sorry when showing him that after the fact, but before that it's difficult to say.

* After Barty Jr. is revealed, there's a way of telling whether his cries of innocence in the trial were genuine, or his (apparent) last hope of saving his own skin. He showed Neville the Unforgivable Curse that tortured his parents into insanity. ''He's not sorry in the slightest''.

** Not just that, but they had a unique insight into the match given that they were players themselves ''and'' probably among the few people that weren't Quidditch pros that had flown alongside a Firebolt (i.e. Harry) and knew its capabilities.
