I've decided it's time for a new trivia game. There may only six books in the official series, but considering that there's over 3000 pages of story amongst them, plus two supplemental books, and three movies (at least the fourth will probably be released before this thread totally dies), and we'll even allow personal stuff about J. K. Rowling to be in play.
Anything Harry Potter-related is in play, if anyone hasn't read the latest book, or seen the latest movie, be warned that plot points from things you don't know yet are bound to be revealed.
I'll kick it off with the following question:
What two items did Snape accuse Harry of stealing from his private stores, and who actually had stolen them?

Close enough, Cobie...the thing stolen by Dobby was actually called Gillyweed.
As for the potion ingredient, it was boomslang skin. However, while Hermione did steal it in book 2, the accusation Snape made in book 4 was more likely based on theft of the stuff by Barty Crouch Jr., who had to continually make Polyjuice Potion so he could stay disguised as Mad-Eye Moody.
Cobalt Kid, you're up!

Hm. That one I know I can't answer unless I look at the books, which I'm trying purposely not to do for this game (I hope others are too!).

Well, I thought I knew it, but after checking my answer, I found that I was wrong

Professor Slughorn offered Ginny Weasley a spot in his "Slug Club" because of her proficiency with what spell?
