bboy_mn:

Mandy, maybe the first step is to define a 'Red Herring'.

The formal definition (Am. Heritage 3rd Ed.) -

"Something that draws attention away from the central issue."

It's not just something that distracts you, but something that
distracts you FROM something else.

What is the 'something else' that this Red Herring is distracting us from?

If it's just a 'Got Ya'; a joke that JKR is playing on us, that seems
like an odd ploy on her parts.

If it's a Red Herring, then where is the other half of it?

Just curious.
