I think the reason for this is because the book(s) are written in the 
third person-- a sort of omniscient narrator, as seen in the Narnia 
books by C.S. Lewis.  It is the narrator's voice that tells the HP 
story-- and not necessarily just in Harry's POV.  JKR uses the 
narrator to reveal things going on that Harry himself does not 
notice.
