Line 8:
** Hermione Granger introduces herself by speaking very quickly, showing excitement for school, dispensing information others don't know, and -- this is key -- helping a fellow student who's lost something.
** Ron Weasley, meanwhile, is quite literally the first friend Harry ever makes his own age (Hagrid being the first friend, period). It sets the tone for their relationship throughout the rest of the series, as Ron's loyalty is one of the things which gives Harry strength.
** Snape gets two establishing character moments: First in ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and Thethe Philosopher's Stone (novel)|Philosopher's Stone]]'', when he first lays eyes on Harry, Harry's scar burns. Snape [[Red Herring|must]] be working for Voldemort! {{spoiler|Except he totally ''isn't''.}} <ref> This moment is so misleading that [[J. K. Rowling]] had to explain that Voldemort was looking at Harry through Quirrel's turban, which is why Harry's scar burned.</ref> His second, and the one that, in retrospect, reveals his true alliance {{spoiler|to Dumbledore}}, occurs in ''[[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (novel)|Goblet of Fire]]'', when he [[Harry Potter/Awesome|shows his Dark Mark to the Minister of Magic, proving that Voldemort has returned]].
** From the first moment we see Luna Lovegood, wearing radish earrings, with her wand stuck behind her ear and reading ''The Quibbler'' upside down, it is clear she is a world-class [[Cloudcuckoolander]].
* ''[[A Song of Ice and Fire]]''
