“You’re a r-really good teacher, you know,” said Cho, with a watery smile. “I’ve never been able to Stun anything before.”
Cho don't piss me of.
“I really like you, Harry.”
No you don't. Liar.
“Just because you’ve got the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn’t mean we all have,”
1722–1741
“It seems there was some rather unusual kind of poison in that snake’s fangs that keeps wounds open. . . .
“Said he’d give me another bite if I didn’t shut up,”
What an asshole..
I’m the weapon, Harry thought,
No you ain't!
Voldemort made me do it and he could be inside me, listening to my thoughts right now. . . .
More or less lol
“Well, that was a bit stupid of you,” said Ginny angrily, “seeing as you don’t know anyone but me who’s been possessed by You-Know-Who, and I can tell you how it feels.”
Right. LIke homeboy you saved her from him and everything lol
“Percy sent back his Christmas jumper.”

“My son and his wife,” she said, turning haughtily to Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny, “were tortured into insanity by You-Know-Who’s followers.”
“If I hear you’re using these Occlumency lessons to give Harry a hard time, you’ll have me to answer to.” “How touching,” Snape sneered. “But surely you have noticed that Potter is very like his father?” “Yes, I have,” said Sirius proudly. “Well then, you’ll know he’s so arrogant that criticism simply bounces off him,” Snape said sleekly.

The Dark Lord is highly skilled at Legilimency —” “What’s that? Sir?” “It is the ability to extract feelings and memories from another person’s mind —”
“It is true, however, that those who have mastered Legilimency are able, under certain conditions, to delve into the minds of their victims and to interpret their findings correctly. The Dark Lord, for instance, almost always knows when somebody is lying to him. Only those skilled at Occlumency are able to shut down those feelings and memories that contradict the lie, and so utter falsehoods in his presence without detection.”
“Time and space matter in magic, Potter. Eye contact is often essential to Legilimency.”
“The usual rules do not seem to apply with you, Potter. The curse that failed to kill you seems to have forged some kind of connection between you and the Dark Lord. The evidence suggests that at times, when your mind is most relaxed and vulnerable — when you are asleep, for instance — you are sharing the Dark Lord’s thoughts and emotions. The headmaster thinks it inadvisable for this to continue. He wishes me to teach you how to close your mind to the Dark Lord.”
“It appears that the Dark Lord has been unaware of the connection between you and himself until very recently. Up till now it seems that you have been experiencing his emotions and sharing his thoughts without his being any the wiser. However, the vision you had shortly before Christmas
“Fools who wear their hearts proudly on their sleeves, who cannot control their emotions, who wallow in sad memories and allow themselves to be provoked this easily — weak people, in other words — they stand no chance against his powers! He will penetrate your mind with absurd ease, Potter!”
At least we know now why he's so stoic and a bit of an ass.
