* JerkassRealization: Yehudah, during his fight with Terry. First he learns that Terry was only signing him up to go home for Easter break, but he's still reluctant to apologize. Eventually he writes Rabbi Zeller, asking if he's obligated to apologize to someone who isn't Jewish...and, upon realizing that he can't even find a way to ''phrase'' that question without sounding like a jerk, figures out the answer for himself.

* ContrastingSequelMainCharacter: Harry was raised by a small family that he doesn't like, is happy to be a wizard and sees Hogwarts as his true home. Yehudah is basically the opposite of all that. Their Sortings are particularly noteworthy: the Hat says that Harry has a "thirst to prove himself" and almost puts him in Slytherin, but quickly rules out Slytherin for Yehudah, noting that he prefers a quiet life to any sort of ambition. (Yehudah's immediate thought: "Of course, who wouldn't?")
