"I bow to your superior knowledge, sir." "Ten points from Gryffindor for your cheek!" (Harry's old-fashioned politeness is often interpreted as condescention or sarcasm)
Harry actually enjoys Binns' history of magic lessons, because they tell completely different histories than what he is used to. Plus, Binns is no more boring than Mr. Norrell - sometimes less so. Harry even engages Binns in debate after a few classes, which the ghost is not used to but finds that he thoroughly enjoys. The rest of the students are shocked.
Harry doesn't trust house-elves, because he was taught by his guardians that fairy servants aren't needed, and their services always come with a catch.
(Srange saddles off "for a walk", very casually.) "You've put ____'s spell of watchfullness on Mr. Potter, haven't you?" Norrell stated without looking up from his book. "Er, yes. Harry's in danger." "Well, report back afterwards. Do be careful."
Harry rescues Hermione from the troll by walking through the bathroom mirror with her to the men's washroom across the hall. He promised Mr. Strange never to enter the mirror world without him, though. Strange appears only moments after them (also through the mirror) and he tries to help Hermione with what little usefull healing magic he knows (she has a broken arm/leg, broken ribs, and is bleeding). When the teachers come upon them, Strange insists that Harry introduce him before he does anything else (not seeing Dumbledore or McGonnagal, his acquaintances, immediately, as they are taking care of the troll).
