[HPforGrownups] Possible Error

I just read that part myself and thought the same thing!  

Here's another question, brought up to me by a friend of mine this weekend.

We see several times (most specifically in GoF when Hedwig is finding
Sirius) that when sending owl post, the owls can find people pretty much
anywhere they are, right?  Why then in PoA did nobody ever send an owl to
Sirius and just follow it on broomstick to find his whereabouts?

I told him that there had to be some kind of charm that allows someone not
to be found by owl post if they're in hiding, but he said that wasn't a good
enough answer and so I now turn to you.  If anybody has an answer, it has to
be you guys!

** I found what I feel is (sort of) an error on JKRs part.  In SS/PS, 
** chapter 5, the first time Harry goes to Diagon Alley, with Hagrid.  
** They pass a witch selling dragon livers for 17 sickles an ounce 
** (Theyre mad!).  This is on page 72 of the Scholastic PB edition.  
** Several pages later (pg. 75 of the Scholastic PB edition) Hagrid 
** explains to Harry how wizard money works - as we all know, there are 
** 29 bronze Knuts in a silver Sickle and 17 Sickles to a gold 
** Galleon.  
** But if 17 Sickles = 1 Galleon, why say that something cost 17 
** sickles?  Isnt that like saying that something cost 100 cents?  I 
** think this is an oversight on JKRs part.  And if you think I must be 
** really insane and desperate to have been reduced to this level of 
** nitpicking, you are absolutely right.
