Unable to remember the numerous passwords, Neville made a list and then apparently lost it, allowing Black to find the list and use it to enter the castle. The repercussions for Neville are severe: he is humiliated in front of his classmates and punished by McGonagall, further eroding his already fragile self-confidence. We will learn later just how this list fell into Sirius' hands, though McGonagall is quite right that keeping such a list was indeed a bad idea.

Ron was terrified by his experience with Sirius Black, but Black’s behavior in Gryffindor Tower seems at odds with his mass murderer record. Though he slashes Ron’s curtains with a knife, neither Ron or Harry are harmed. They wonder why, when Ron yelled, Sirius ran away. Presuming, as everyone does, that Sirius was targeting Harry, it would have been simple enough for such a vicious killer to permanently silence Ron and quickly move on to the next bed to find his real target. Why did he not?

Meanwhile, there is a widening rift between Ron and Hermione. Hermione's refusal to express any sympathy or take responsibility for Scabbers' apparent demise could indicate that something is preventing her from behaving appropriately. Being that she has just patched things up with Ron and Harry after a long and difficult estrangement, she may be reluctant to admit that there is another problem that could threaten their friendship. Another factor: Hermione rarely, if ever, believes she is in the wrong, and there is no absolute proof that Scabbers is actually dead rather than just missing. SheHermione is also increasingly tired and shrill and clearly under much stress from her studies. Considering sheHermione has always easily been at the top of her class, this is difficult to understand, though having to prepare Buckbeak's appeal, which Ron and Harry had promised to help but had lost interest in, is also adding to her stress.

Also, it should be noted that Madam Hooch's rhapsodizing about the Firebolt actually feels quite misplaced. Readers may not understand why it feels wrong, but they should be somewhat disturbed by it all the same. Looking back through this book, we find that [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Prisoner of Azkaban/Chapter 11|two chapters earlier]], when Professor McGonagall confiscated the broom, she said she was going to have Madam Hooch and Professor Flitwick examine it for hidden jinxes. Thus, Madam Hooch has been working with the broom for almost four months, from late December to mid-April, which is certainly enough time for the (non-magical) charm to have worn off.<!--A good point!
