I hope I can jump in here.  I definitely agree with you, James....

I also want to ad that Harry has been told by others that, namely H and H, 
that what he sees and hears are "not normal, even in the wizarding world" as 
Hermione tells Harry when he hears the Basilisk in CoS.

Harriet, who joins James in defending Harry, a hero for our times....
