Well, would Harry have started laughing if he had just seen just a list before? I'm not sure, but the impression I got was that Harry was laughing because someone had made list identical in form to a well-known geek list. If he had just happened to have seen such a list before, would it be as funny? Moreover, would that be what the reader would have expected to understand from the text?
Maybe 'Quirrell' posted his version to FidoNet.
Would not then Harry have noticed that Quirrel's list overlapped with the one he had seen?
Harry did correctly guess Item #2...
Good point. That makes it much more plausible. Although given Harry's personality I'd then expect him to test by trying to guess the third and fourth.
