(1) Why didn't anybody receive a Howler during Harry's first year?  
Harry was unacquainted with them until Ron got one the second year.  
They seem pretty common after that.

(2) Why doesn't Dumbledore have a real, functional sneakoscope 
sitting in his office?  Wouldn't that help root out some of those 
those pesky polyjuiced staff members?  Why hasn't Harry cottoned to 
the value of his?

(3) There is a whole invisibility section in the library.  Harry was 
hiding in it when he was overhearing the Hufflepuffs in CoS.  Why 
aren't there more invisible people running around?  I just don't see 
a whole library section with book after book simply stating, "To 
become invisible, get a hold of an invisibility cloak."  Several 
books would be on the manufacture of said cloaks, but not a whole 
section.  It would be then called, "The Invisibility Cloak Section."

(4) If the maturing mandrakes threw a loud raucous party in 
Greenhouse #3, who would be alive to tell the tale?

(5) If all the copies of "Hogwarts, a History" were checked out in 
CoS, why didn't the details concerning the chamber spread through the 
grapevine?

(6) If the Weasley clock has a "Mortal Peril" reading, why hasn't 
Molly Weasley noticed all the times Ron has been there?  Ginny would 
also have been there everytime she was controlling the Basilisk.

(7) Why did Dumbledore just open the back of Colin's camera?  Yes, 
the film was fried, but if it wasn't, he would have destroyed some 
very valuable evidence.  How would he know before hand that the film 
was fried?

(8) How would an age line stop a banishing spell or the equivalent?

(9) Why is the entrance to a 1000+ year-old chamber hidden behind a 
modern bathroom fixture?  I don't think the Picts enjoyed indoor 
plumbing around the time of Alfred the Great.

(10) Why did Uncle Vernon sleep through the bars being torn off the 
wall, but woke up at one screech from Hedwig, and come storming into 
the bedroom that they had locked down?  I would think that they were 
used to Hedwig by now, but not the ripping of bars off a window.
