Lol, I'll try to answer the questions to the best of my abilities! After all... a dare every now and then is good for the soul.
1. The tournament took place during the end of October to the end of the year, and Fred and George were 16 then. But they'll be turning 17 during the year when the tournament ends. So yeah, I guess that they take the Apparation test when they're 17 and I'm thinking that they take it at one of the Departments in the Ministry of Magic. But er, for Britain, I don't exactly know. And they WERE in the 7th year during OotP, but they left half way through. Even I wouldn't be able to stand Doloris XD
2. I think that it was in the hallway after the heads of the house-elves. Or was it upstairs?
3. Or Dumboldore could be referring to the "last" letter that he enclosed along with baby Harry when Petunia took him in. But it could also be Voldemort's voice. No one knows for sure (only J.K.R.)
4. Well, I'm guessing that since Wormtail was assumed "dead", so was his wand. So he's stuck with using Voldemort's to kill Cedric. And I don't think that everyone's wand would exactly be "attuned" to the correct owner because Serveus and Lupin managed to use other's wands to conjure spells. So... I'm assuming that anyone with magical talent is able to use any wand? (Harry did blow up some equipment while trying out for a wand at Olivanders!)
5. I think Hagrid lightly explained the values in the first book, chapter 5? (Diagon Alley) Something about this amount of Knuts = a Sickle and this amount of Sickle and Knuts = a Galleon
6. *coughs* Well, I thought that Lily had a thing for Snape.... ^^; After all, she did act quite sour after he called her a "mudblood" when she was trying to help him (in the fifth book). I never saw Snape as the one to be jealous of a female.
7. I think that Remus could have fitted well into Ravenclaw. Hufflepuff seems a bit too... nice for Sirius and Remus, so maybe Gryffindor for Sirius. But I'm guessing that Wormtail is from Slytherin as well...
8. Eh, Beauxbatons doesn't strike me as a divided school. It is an all girls' academy so I guess they do everything as a whole school. As does Durmstrang, being an all boys'.
And I don't think that any of the creators of Hogwarts left. They needed to protect the school and teach the students... but then Salazar did disappear-- or was he banished?-- from Hogwarts and sunk deeper into the dark arts. And maybe the rest of the descendents never had a chance to last till Harry's generation! (Or James could've been Gryffindor's last descendent...?)
9. Maybe it was his mother? who was the last heir and then he was "crowned" in the next book as "the half-blood prince"??? All the possibilities... x.X Drives me insane.
10. Haha, good question. Hm... the Accio spell? Or he has some sorta levitation hand with him. Who knows? He surprises us in every single book.
