Anyone else find it strange that so many people in the books, by this age (ie sixteen) are experimenting with new spells, potions, exploring the limits of magic, etc... EXCEPT for Harry?
Yes. That's what I was getting at in my aside in my previous post. Fred and George are very creative; look at all the products they've made. But Harry learns things he is given to learn as, indeed, does Hermione. She's very clever, yes. But I don't see the creative flair in her, at least as yet.

Remus and Tonks: I was actually very happy about that one.

I came away from the book unhappy(ish), but it has stayed with me. And I have got some theories about what is going to happen in Book 7 now...

BTW: I also wondered about RAB being Regulus Black, and even went to check in OOTP to find out if we knew what his middle initial was. We weren't told.
