Chivalry means like the knights of old - brave, courteous and gallant.

The sorting hat sings a song in the first book that tells about each house at Hogwarts.

You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where there are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning
Will always find there kind;

Or perhaps in Slytherin,
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.

So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get me in a flap!
You're in safe hands (Though I have none)
For I'm a thinking cap!

9. During Harry's first quidditch match, who yells " Send him off, ref! Red Card!" ?

Answer: Dean Thomas

If you recall Dean is obsessed with soccer and was talking about soccer.

10. How many points did Gryffindor house have at the end of Harry's first year? (after they get the points from Dumbledore.)

Answer: 482

Slytherin would have won with 472 points if Dumbledore hadn't awarded Gryffindor the points.
