"How did I get the Stone out of the mirror?" "Ah, now, I'm glad you asked me that. It was one of my more brilliant ideas, and between you and me, that's saying something. You see, only one who wanted to find the Stone - find it, but not use it - would be able to get it..."	Book 1, Page 300 Sorcerer's Stone, Chapter 17, "The Man with Two Faces"
"There's a loophole in the law, you'll find ... *As long as he wasn't intending* to** fly the car, the fact that the car could fly wouldn't -" "Arthur Weasley, you made sure there was a loophole when you wrote that law!" shouted Mrs. Weasley.
