No thoughts, simply because you have reached into my brain and pulled out my thoughts and made them make sense. Sorry. This is one of the major reasons I've never been able to been to fall in love entirely with Rowling's universe -- there are just too many gaps for the 'unreliable narrator' excuse to hold water. Yes, yes, Harry doesn't know everything, but other people know things he doesn't, and yet we never get a sense of a society beyond Harry's worldview. And it's possible to do that -- Huck Finn is exhibit A, as always.
