Talisman, who, like Snape, does not have unlimited leisure time, 
points out:

1) JKR has said about 100 times, and it has been repeated on this 
list about 1000 times, that she is not writing her HP series for 
children.  Opps again, CW.

2)Discussions, free or otherwise, are always more enjoyable and 
productive if people actually know what they are talking about.  

3)It's a sorry state of affairs if preferring actual canon makes one 
an elitist.
