I really never took his words that literally.  When he said "it 
doesn't concern you," I took him to mean, "It is not your business 
to learn about the DoM, stop asking questions about things that are 
not yours to deal with."  I never really thought that he was 
claiming that the name "Harry Potter" doesn't exist anywhere within 
the DoM.
