4* When Thimbletack first starts messing with the kids in the first book, he never directly hurts Jared. Now, this could partially be explained by the face that Jared was the only one who didn't help destroy his house, but there's also the fact that he knows that if something happens to Jared, Mallory and his mom would stop being mad at him. So it makes more trouble if he leaves at least one person alone, and who better than the guy who already gets in trouble?
5* Jared wearing red could just be distinguishing him as [[TheHero the]] [[RedIsHeroic hero]] of the story, but in the field guide, Arthur writes that red is a good defensive color that keeps faeries away, while green draws them towards you.
6* How is Mulgarath able to disguise himself as Jared and Simon's father? When he looked through Simon's things, he found a family photo. In the attack on the house, he would have had plenty of opportunities to see that the mother is there and the father is not.
7* Likewise Thimbletack is able to leave a message for Jared, knowing his full name. This is because when he was poking about at the wall, Helen gave him a FullNameUltimatum ("Jared Grace, put that broom down"). He clearly overheard her. He was likely listening the whole time and could guess that Jared was the one snooping around.
