How long can we stretch the Harry-POV? I mean, the story isn´t told
by him. Its told by an allwise narrator, describing the
characters. And the narrator doesn´t say: "Hermione signed up for so
many courses that Harry/Ron thought she must have covered them all" -
it is said that Hermione signed up for everything.
Or do you mean that fact and Harrys personal impression is mixed
without this being stated in the text???

facts...)
