There was something else I found odd that I didn't catch the first time I read it. In Daenerys's POV, on Page 32, she says that Illyrio's slaves were a gift from the Dothraki:
I don't think there is anything major about that statement it just seems, to me, odd because there is no other reference to the Dothraki giving gifts to other people AND it seems very against their nature to do such a thing.

There came a soft knock on her door. "Come" Dany said, turning away from the window. Illyrio's servants entered, bowed, and set about their business. They were slaves, a gift from one of the Magister's many Dothraki friends.

I assumed the slaves were part of the deal Drogo made for his bride. Good point, though.
Just caught the question about the Others' armor and weapons - The way the were described as changing colors (the trees, etc) gave me the impression that they were glass, reflecting everything around them...I suppose ice could reflect too, but smooth obsidian would be a much more reflective surface due to it's color...

The Dothraki ONLY give gifts. They do not trade or pay for things. They take or they give.

I always assumed that it reflected the good relationship Illyrio had with the Dothraki. As mentioned, the Pentoshi paid the khalasars off to stop them from invading. I think Illyrio, being the savvy businessman (and politico) that he is just took it a step further and established friendly relations with them.
