Audio problem: When Punjab is making the plant move by magic in front of Annie (just before Grace walks in and tells Annie that she is going to Washington DC to meet the President), he lands it on a table, and she says "Wow", but her lips don't move - she just smiles at him.
Annie: Leaping lizards!
Question: At the end: Miss Hannigan is seen at the party, but shouldn't she have been arrested along with Lily and Rooster? She was an accomplice to the planning and kidnapping of Annie, so that alone should have got her some sort of punishment.
Answer: Most likely Mr Warbucks had some sway in the outcome of things. Because Mrs Hannigan in the end did try to save her life, and was also assaulted by her own brother when she turned on him, Annie and Mr Warbucks statement probably got the police to let her go. Also it would seem that Punjab liked her. She came around to the right side in the end.

Answer: Think of the circumstances. A group of obvious orphans shows up at your house at night, saying they are friends of Annie. Warbucks knows how far the orphanage is from his home since he went there earlier. Annie believed her parents were already dead, as so many people showed up claiming to be them but didn't have the locket. Annie was very hesitant and unreceptive toward the ones who showed up to bring her home. Warbucks also caught a bad vibe from the fake parents when it came to giving them the reward check. It's not hard to believe that he would instantly realise that he was scammed and Annie is in trouble.
