MHO:
I think the "heart of it all" is vision literally, and metaphorically.
Harry needs his glasses repaired a number of times.  
""""" sees through the eyes of LV.
""""  has his vision of things is clouded by emotion.
Ron and Hermione see Snape doing a curse during the quidditch match 
but think its Quirrell.
DD didn't see the flaw of his plan or something like that.
Fudge turns a blind eye to LV's return. (still think he is LV 
supporter or DE).
And those are just a few.

Most all of the characters are not seeing things clearly at some
