I am piqued, now. I am guilty of missing all references to the 
switching spell in the books. -furious blushing-
Since you've brought it to my attention I agree 105% that Harry 
*forgetting* the definition of switching spell is a significant clue. 
Harry apparently hasn't been paying attention to something he should 
have and I am sure if we handed these clues on a scrap of paper to 
Hermione she would be back in five with the answer. 
As for me, I am going to apply switching spells to every significant 
inamate object in the entire series till I come up with one.
Trial and error is tedious but its the best I can offer!
