13 What did Ron send Harry for a birthday gift?
Answer: a pocket sneakoscope

The Sneakoscope was supposed to light up and spin whenever there was someone untrustworthy around.

The Broomstick Servicing Kit came from Hermione, and the book from Hagrid.

14 'You're not going anywhere till you've found my badge!' This is said to Ron.
Answer: Percy

This is said by Percy Weasley, Ron Weasley's older brother. In this book, Percy had been changed from a prefect into the Head Boy. With this comes a special badge that Percy enjoys parading around on his shirt wherever possible so that he can be noticed. So, as you can see, Percy would go a little crazy if it were to be lost. This particular line is said in the chapter of 'The Leaky Cauldron', when the Weasleys, Hermione and Harry are staying at the Leaky Cauldron before they go on the train to Hogwarts. Percy can't find his badge, and since Percy and Ron are sharing a room, he naturally assumed that Ron had stolen it. However, although it is true that someone had stolen Percy's badge, it wasn't Ron, as he had suspected. In fact, it had been stolen by Fred and George who were 'improving it': they had changed it so that it actually read 'Bighead Boy'.
    Your options: [ Percy ] [ Mrs. Weasley ] [ Ginny ] [ Hermione ]

39 'Don't you say "yes" in that ungrateful tone,' Now, who would say this to Harry?
Answer: Aunt Marge

This quote pretty much sums up all of the speaker's feelings for Harry: large dislike. Aunt Marge (the speaker of this quote) had come up with her dog Ripper in the chapter of 'Aunt Marge's Big Mistake' for a visit with he brother and sister-in-law, Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. When Aunt Marge comes, Harry always has a horrible time involving unfair presents, being whacked around the knees, and being chased up a tree by Ripper. This visit, however, he wanted to be good, for he had a lot at stake: the Hogsmeade permission form. Harry made a deal with Uncle Vernon that if he behaved himself for the duration of Aunt Marge's visit, and didn't say anything about where he goes to school; or magic at all for that matter, that Uncle Vernon would sign the permission form for him. Of course, this doesn't exactly work out as planned. This line was said by Aunt Marge the day that she came to stay with the Dursleys, when Harry comes into the room to greet their guest. Aunt Marge asks if he was still here, and Harry says yes. This causes Aunt Marge to say this.
