Given everything Fumbledork has tried and Greasy's hatred of Harry, Are they
responsible for the lack of progress on Harry's recovery. I would'nt put it
past Bumblebore to order it as a means to control Harry's mobility. Or that
Snape would alter any potions meant for Harry to be less than effective just
because he could cause Harry pain while appearing to do the right thing. Any
way loving the story and eagerly awaiting the next update.

Like any other severe physical injury, you never return to 100% again.
Harry's injury to his leg and its resultant healing has followed a
logical course of physical therapy and a realistic healing.

It is not uncommon to experience long lasting effects after a
traumatic injury has healed. Harry's lack of progress is not a
reflection of something Dumbledore is doing and more a reflection on
the fact that the extent of the injury will prevent him from
recovering 100% use of that leg again.

Also, as Madame Pomfrey has expressed time and again, rest is required
for an injury to heal well. Not even magic can make up for over-
taxing an injury that's not yet healed.

hmm with harrys leg problems and his control issues with his magic maybe he
needs a ne wand? maybe his can could be turned in to a semi staff?

Maybe, or maybe not. :)

I'll never tell.

I was thinking about How Harry could get over his Mobility problems in
a fight with the Death Eaters and the scene from Star Wars - The
Phantom Menace where Yoda duels Count Duku popped into my mind.

We have seen relitivly minor use of Summoning and Banishing Charms
taught by Professor Flitwick but what Happens when a Wizard uses them
on a relitivly Immovible object. The question I pose is does Newton's
Third Law apply and if so can this be used to make Harry zip about the
place even if it is draining on his magic reserves.

Ref. Newton's Third Law:
All forces in the universe occur in equal but oppositely directed
pairs. There are no isolated forces; for every external force that acts
on an object there is a force of equal magnitude but opposite direction
which acts back on the object which exerted that external force.

If there is one thing I have learned in writing, do not mix science
with magic. Otherwise you're liable to regret it. :)

I have wondered why, when making long walks down to Hogsmeade, he
didn't just bring his broom with him so when he gets tired he can just
fly real slow alongside whoever's walking with him. That would also
give him a fast getaway vehicle/firing platform if someone attacked
while they were on the road.

Where interestingly enough I think that the opposite position is valid.
I remember hearing somewhere "That any signifigantly advanced
technology can seem like Magic to the primitive." It is even possible
that Magic itself is nothing but a undiscovered/unexplored branch of
Science. (Perhaps based involving the Physical warping of Reality)

JK herself has unwittingly laid the foundations for the interaction of
Magic and Technology by stating that Electronic devices wont work
within high magic area's like Hogwarts. Theirby indicating that they
are not totally seperate entitiies but connected in some way.

I personally like the idea of Technomancy the merging of Magic and
Technology into something that combines the best of both worlds. It
allows for a way to begin to reconcile the two worlds, The Magical and
the Muggle by providing a third path that is a mixture of the two.

The way I've been looking at it is this: Technology depends on things
happening the same way every time. Electrons have to behave the same
way consistently in order for electronics to work. Magic is the
ability to make things happen differently (like Wingardium Leviosa
making something fall up). You're messing with probabilities on a
quantum level and performing massive changes in the way things should
happen. Unless they are damaged outright, simple machines like steam
engines won't be hurt by magic going off in their vicinity. Pick a
plow up, move it over, put it down, it won't be hurt. However,
electronics depend on much smaller things and much finer tolerances
for things going wrong. If you Wingardium Leviosa a cell phone, it's
not only going to lift the phone, but it's going to lift some of the
electrons out of the places they were and drop them back into places
they shouldn't be. Which is not good for the cell phone, and if you
do it enough times, it's going to disrupt the flow of electricity,
corrupt the memory, and fry the electronics. Same things with digital
watches, computers, and so forth. Eventually they will stop working.

So magic and technology are inherently in opposition - one depends on
things happening the same way all the time, the other depends on
things happening differently in accordance with the will of the spell
caster. A sufficiently advanced technology might be able to control
the differences on a quantum level, and it is possible that magic
might be developed to protect electronics, but at that point magic and
technology have become indistinguishable. And then you've got
Quidditch games between the kids on brooms and the ones with jet
packs, and Hogwarts is just another school specializing in a
particular technology called magic (which is actually going to be the
ending point, 100 years or so down the pike, of my major story).

Well there's a simple answer to that question. I didn't think of it. :)

Besides, if I made his life too easy then the story wouldn't be
interesting. :D

Well, you could have someone come up with the idea ... you know, have
Luna wander up and say something, or even Hermione's parents, who are
looking at things from a Muggle standpoint - "Couldn't you use your
broom like a wheelchair?" and everybody slaps their foreheads and
Harry carries his broom shrunk down in his pocket from then on.

Then later you could have an action scene where they get ambushed by
someone and Harry pulls out his broom and starts flying around over
the top of the combat zapping people, and the whole business with
carrying the broom looks like the brilliant authors thought of it all
along.
