Why did Harry blow up Aunt Marge?

Aunt Marge (Pam Ferris) was insulting Harry's parents. She accused his father of being a drunk and then compared Harry and his mother to dogs, claiming "If there's something wrong with the bitch, then there's something wrong with the pup." As Harry admits later to Ron and Hermoine, he simply lost control.

How did James, Sirius and Peter become friends with Remus Lupin?

While they were all Gryffindor students at Hogwarts, Lupin used the excuse of his mother being ill when he disappeared each month (he was afraid they wouldn't want to be his friends if they knew). Eventually, they found out. Instead of abandoning Lupin, they all developed the ability to become Animagi.This had several benefits, i.e., werewolves are no threat to other animals, only humans, so in their animal forms they were safe. James could turn into a stag and Sirius into a big dog, so they could restrain the werewolf if he tried to get loose. Peter, as a rat, could sneak past the branches of the Whomping Willow and press the knot which paralysed it.

Who won the Quidditch Cup this year?

The winner of the Quidditch Cup this term is not shown in the movie. In the book, the inter-house Quidditch Cup competition takes into account not just victories, but scores as well. Despite beating Slytherin in the first two books, Gryffindor failed to win the Cup. In Philosopher's Stone, the final match takes place while Harry is unconscious in the hospital wing after protecting the stone and Ravenclaw win the Cup. In Chamber of Secrets, the competition is cancelled because of attacks in the castle. The third year is Oliver Wood's final year (he's the one who explained the Quidditch rules to Harry) and he is desperate to win the Cup: in the book, Gryffindor win the Quidditch Cup. This was cut from the movie, for two reasons: 1) in the first movie, we see only one match, a win, and then see Gryffindor win the House Cup, so it would need a lot of explaining for their success to have the impact it has in the novel, and 2) in the grand scheme of the movies, it adds very little to the story being told.
