1) Now this is interesting. My first thought was that Peter Pettigrew should die (because UGH), but actually it should probably be James who dies, because Harry wouldn't be Our Harry if his father had lived. So, tragic though that is, Daddy Potter gets it. From there, the others are easy. Slap Pettigrew (because UGH). Kiss Sirius (because UNF), and marry Remus (because he's just lovely).
2) Um, you know, I'm not sure. I added a few films (Seven, Goodfellas, 12 Angry Men) to my amazon basket this morning after discovering some aged gift vouchers, but obviously that's not really shopping. I've also added cling film and cat food to my supermarket shop to be delivered tomorrow morning. In terms of shopping in person, though, that is probably from last weekend, when I bought lots of baby things for my friend who is due to give birth any day now. On the same trip I bought this book for my not-really-niece's birthday in a couple of weeks - husband and I were cackling reading it, it's great (and a little less obviously bleak than the first book by this guy). However, that shopping trip was largely because I wanted an excuse to go into town and buy this book - The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss which is just wonderful. He is my favourite new author and I love the way he writes, so lyrical and full of detail without being annoyingly difficult to read. I also love his main character, Kvothe, who is "a great gaudy showboating bastard" and very entertaining to read.
3) Oh blimey, I'm not sure. I think perhaps Polyjuice has the potential to be fun, but Veritaserum is likely to get you knowing things you'd really rather not know. How weird would it be to polyjuice yourself as your spouse though, so you could essentially swap bodies? Is it really wrong that I even thought that?
4) I don't like either! Harry and Draco belong together! If pushed I can probably see Harry/Snape more than Draco/Ginny though. If I imagine Draco/Ginny, I can mostly only envision a blazing row.
5) Snape totally wears pants. He has these billowing robes, he is in constant danger of a Marilyn Monroe moment.
