***SPOILER ALERT***
...it's fun, watching the same tropes get played out in different shows, though. The 'Oh Noes, I'm crazy! It was all a dream!' schtick being the most recent one I've rolled my eyes over.
How about a Buffy episode where a demon or curse transforms everyone into LOLCats?

Hardly original to Buffy. I nearly hurt myself eyerolling over that ep.
Quick question to verify something: until the Malfoys at the end of OotP, there wasn't any family we knew of that had a parent in Azkaban and a child at Hogwarts, right? (I'm specifically thinking convicted Death Eaters, but really, anybody.)
Dumbledore... but that was back in the day
Oooh, thanks! I'd forgotten about that!
Weren't Sr's Crabbe and Goyle in there when Malfoy went, or no?
I was watching Smallville Season 6 earlier today, and there was a big strapping dude who did the whole built-in-impalement-device thing, and I was all "You're a Polgara Demon!" at the screen. And then reflecting upon how insanely referential things are, when their monster reminds me of a Buffy monster named after your good self, whom I assume to be named after the David Eddings character? It's like six degrees of, er, something.
Ha! That's funny, I do that too. And yup, I was rereading the Eddings' serious for the bazillionth time when I was posting at the Bronze, hence the chosen name. Who knew it would be so lucky for me?

Were they at the Department of Mysteries? I remember Crabbe and Goyle being pissed off at Harry at the end of GoF because Harry named their fathers as Death Eaters, but I don't remember them being at the Ministry of Magic in OotP.
Crabbe and Goyle Srs. were both at the graveyard in GoF, so it's pretty safe to assume that they were out of prison by then, if they had ever been in.
He lived. There is no other mystery.
She needs to work on the encyclopedia.
