In the scene where we see the put-outer we are seeing it in "muggle 
narrative", so to speak (<g> I'm making up English terms for HP ^_^). When we 
find out about the world of witches and wizards the perspective changes into 
third person omniscient when we see things from Harry's POV. 

Did that make any sense? I'm trying to think of a better way to word what I'm 
trying to say but the medicine seems to fog my brain -_-
