I think this is a good point. Why haven't we (or if we have, please direct me) heard more about Harry's inability to get a haircut since the first book? It's been in my mind ever since I started reading the series, and I've expected it to come up again, especially since the kids are starting to be interested in romance now, but it never does. I've also not heard anything that indicates other witches and wizards can regrow hair overnight without potions. Does this mean Harry has another hidden ability?
