Author's response
I mentioned this in response to a different review, but I thank you as well: the byplay between the characters is the hardest part for me, since I've not been a teenager for a long while. Hermione, of course, is the more difficult of the two, since I've never been female (which Harry has, much to his mortification!)
The properties and attributes of the various woods, well, I can't really stake claim to that. I'm using mythology for those ideas, mostly. But hey, if I can tie them into the story, more fun for me! :-)
