A page from your diary:

"So, WTFs going on then? Me Mam & Dah Just said we're f'kn leav'n t'morra! I'm not even 'lowed to tell me mates or anyth'n! They wont tell where we're goin or why! I reck'n it's to do with that tosser mam was buyin stuff for, but she don't know that I know. Mam's gonna be spending t'morra fixin up dah's muggle papers an evryth'n so the f'kn tax mun don't cum afta him. She said she reckon's they're even worse than... then she jus shut 'er gob an wudn't say nowt. I dunno whats up, but it's doin me 'ead in! I was supposed to play in the interschool match this weekend too. Our school was winnin & all. That tosser comes 'round here 'e'll be leav'n on his knees!

Don' tell anyone right, but I'm scared."

Tosh put the pen down & ripping the page out chucked it in the fire. Then he just sat there watching the flames.
 
What does Tosh think of his first name?
Does Tosh's name have any special significance?
If Tosh could change any one thing about his appearance, what would it be?
Surely Tosh's parents supplied some reason for moving, even if it was after doing so - what was it?
Will Tosh eventually become accustomed to New Zealand, or is his current state of anger permanent?
How does George, Tosh's father, cope with living in a magical family?

Note: Tosh's brother shouldn't be a muggle if his mother is still a witch: magic is pretty much always inherited when it is possible to via genetics. Squibs (people born of a magical person but unable to use magic) are still not considered muggles.
How does Tosh get along with his siblings?
If Tosh could have a pet - what would it be?
It's interesting that one of Tosh's main interests is muggle sport, and a muggle sports team. Is this an interest he shares with his father?
Why does Tosh consider trusting nobody a strength? How would he have developed such a feeling so early in life?
Why would Tosh's animagus be a raven?
