6. Lockhart made Harry take pictures with him so that he will get the center attention.

7. Mr. Weasley is so interested in muggle things because some are very different from wizard things.

8. The conflict introduced in Mr. Borgin's shop is that Mr. Malfoy is upset with Draco because Hermione can beat Draco at certain stuff, when he really wants Draco to beat her at everything because he's a "pure blood." He's angry with the Muggle Protection Act because he doesn't want them to suspect him for something he clearly did wrong. The conflict is shown at Hogwarts when Draco called Hermione a "Mudblood", a wizard/witch with Muggle parents.
