Thanks ^^ In the canon, although Harry often behaves much older than his years, he is also quite irresponsible; the events at the end of Order of the Phoenix are one example of a situation where a little consideration might have prevented a tragedy. Toby is going to teach Harry to be patient and the importance of considering all the posibilities of his actions, whether leaving a basket of chocolate on his bed or dashing into danger.

Thanks ^^. I agree, Gryffindor and Slytherin are very similar in many respecs. However, I think that, as far as the first years are concerned, Neville and Ron really are the best suited to Harry's gang; the other girls in Gryffindor have never struck me as particularly pleasant, Seamus has a long running feud with Harry and, as Dean is Seamus's best friend, I expect he'll not be too keen on burying the hatchet either. Fred and George are already friendly, so Percy, Lee, Angelina and Katie are possibilites. Oliver Wood is too obsessed with quidditch to wish to hang around Slytherins, I expect ^^.
