I suppose, though given that Hunnie Bunn was the one who suggested this, I'll be curious as to his reason why he wasn't there.

Anyway, to answer one of the questions, I'll take #3 - on the whole, yes, but there was one thing that seems, on balance, rather ridiculous, and that was the whole stealing the car thing. I mean, I don't know about anyone else, but when I was a child and had to get to school and for some reason I missed the bus or something, I certainly didn't steal a car, and most certainly not my parents'. Harry and Ron were lucky they got off with what they did, and honestly, very lucky that they didn't at least get suspended from school.
