Some More Potential OoP Flints

Some more potential OoP flints I've noticed (with apologies if these 
have already been raised, I'm having difficulty keeping up):

1.	It's described as a "tight fit" when Harry and Mr. Weasley 
are crammed into the telephone box to go down to the Ministry of 
Magic, but then Harry and five friends are able to fit into the box 
on the Sirius rescue mission?
2.	In the Room of Requirement, a whistle appears when Harry 
wants one.  Why then doesn't a Boggart appear when Harry thinks about 
how useful a Boggart would be in helping the DA learn the Patronus 
Charm?
3.	Lupin is able to open the door to 12 Grimmauld Place by 
tapping it with his wand.  So then why do the other members of the 
Order have to ring the doorbell?
4.	Someone (sorry, can't remember who now!) astutely mentioned 
that the entire Hogwarts student body should know that Harry can 
conjure a Patronus since he did so at the Gryffindor-Ravenclaw 
Quidditch match in PoA.  I found it also odd that the question Lupin 
asks Harry to verify his identify when the Guard comes to Privet 
Drive is "What form does your patronus take?"  when there are lots of 
other people other than Harry (most notably, sons of DEs such as 
Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle) who also know this information.
5.	There are fifty witches and wizards at Harry's hearing, and 
Arthur indicates his belief that this constitutes the entire 
Wizengamot.  However, at Karkaroff's hearing in GoF, there were over 
200 witches and wizards in attendance.
6.	Harry refers to Lupin as being "sacked," but he actually 
resigned the DADA position in PoA.
