editors' Flints (was Dobby's pillowcase)

I'm so glad I'm not the only one who spent time wondering about arm 
and leg holes before deciding that it was just a glitch.

However, the following sentence will drive me crazy whenever I read 
it, and I hope it's been corrected in the printing I buy:

"Time is short, and unless the few of us who know the truth do not 
stand united, there is no hope for any of us." (GoF, 712 US ed)

That is the kind of sentence that I read and reread, trying to make 
sense of it even though I know it's just a mistake.  Same with 
misplaced modifiers, which Jo writes now and then and which her 
editors don't catch.
