My small pack of gummy bears came with a disproportionate amount of Red gummy bears. It’s great. That usually never happens. The Orange ones are usually the majority, and there are probably 5 people in the world who prefer Orange gummy bears.

Why did McGonagall send everyone from Slytherin house away before the final battle? “Oh, hey, your parents are probably Death Eaters even if I have no way to confirm that for each and every one of you.
