Liz here:
Just to be annoyingly nit-picky and to defend the lovely Hermione, she's not
actually wrong. Dobby jinxed the rogue bludger that broke Harry's arm, which
Lockhart then brilliantly de-boned. Dobby is definitely tangentially
responsible for Harry losing his bones. I think Hermione is just being
economical with her words and pointing out the unhappy result of Dobby's
plan, rather than describing the entire process.
Hermione is never wrong!!!! :)
