* Harry's first conversation with Draco Malfoy in Diagon Alley gives us the first hints of the Wizarding World's FantasticRacism when Malfoy asks if Harry's parents were "our kind" (wizards) and expresses his belief that Hogwards shouldn't let the "other sort" (Muggleborns) attend. The concept of blood purity and anti-Muggle/Muggleborn prejudice would get explored in detail starting in the next book, and would become a large part of the series as one of the main tenets of Voldemort and his followers.
