I hate to say this, because that sounds like something
I would have written, but I don't think it adds
anything, really--either in terms of canon or opinion.
 If it said just a bit more about how Hogwarts doesn't
actually fit on a map, or something, or if the opinion
given were on something of burning interest ("How many
people hate Ginny?  Raise your hands"), I'd say it
contributed something.  As is it's really a zero, and
zero x 10 is still zero.  If I were cataloguing it I'd
see whether any of the points were more substantive
than this.
