Illustration pet peeve

Post-PS illustrations that show Harry with taped glasses irritate me. Mr.
Weasley fixed Harry's glasses at the beginning of CoS (when H emerges from
Knockturn Alley), and presumably he didn't just magic some new tape into
place but actually FIXED them. I am assuming that they had broken along the
existing break. There are other possibilities, I admit, but I've worn
glasses for 24 years and when you drop already-broken glasses that's where
they break 9 times out of 10.
Okay, I realize this observation qualifies me as completely over the edge
addicted. But as others have observed, who else can I say these things to?!
When I was little I loved checking the illustrations to make sure the artist
had paid as much attention to the details as I had, and I guess nothing has
changed.
Thanks for letting me get that off my chest,
Amy
