Possible Flint?

My seven-year-old daughter believes she has found a possible FLINT in 
the following passage in PoA, The Servant of Lord Voldemort (the 
alleged FLINT is in all caps):

"Professor Lupin?" said Hermione timidly.  "Can--can I say something?"
"Certainly, Hermione," said Lupin courteously.
Well--Scabbers--I mean, this -- this man--he's been sleeping in 
Harry's dormitory for three years.  If he's working for You-Know-Who, 
how come he never tried to hurt Harry before now?"
"There!" said Pettigrew shrilly, POINTING AT RON with his maimed 
hand.  "Thank you! You see, Remus?  I have never hurt a hair of 
Harry's head!  Why should I?"

Given that Hermione posed the question, and the question concerns 
Harry, Pettigrew should be pointing at either Hermione or Harry, not 
Ron.

What do you think?  Is it a FLINT, and has it been previously 
spotted?  Can I tell my kid she is a mini-L.O.O.N?

much HP)
