* Annie joins Queslett North halfway through Year 7 (= sixth grade), which happens to have exactly one spot left for a female student. She spends most of her first few weeks at the Court alone, unsupervised, frequently going outside and/or bending the rules. Much later, we realize that the Court knew full well that she would be coming in January and expected her to go fall off the bridge soon after her arrival, so they let her run around and do whatever largely without consequence - which is exactly how the events of the story got underway.

* We've seen all along that Tony (a brilliant scientist) has been heavily involved for years in researching and testing the Omega Device. We finally learn in Chapter 84 that Tony has explained it either to or in front of Annie: it is meant to track every atom in the world and thus predict the future. But only shortly later, in Chapter 86, Aata says with disturbing nonchalance that the Omega Device has been acting erratic for a while. The first wrong prediction was that Annie was supposed to arrive at Gunnerkrigg Court and then fall to her death only shortly later from the bridge to Gillitie Wood. For everything since, with Annie alive and well, all bets have been off. Aata's admission is basically Fridge Horror anyway (the Court did nothing about what they fully believed would be the preventable death of a child), but it raises questions about Tony - who is in deep with the Court - and whether he knew that his daughter was supposed to die at the age of 12.
