One reason I think Luna is there is so Harry - Or us - can learn 
things without neccesarily knowing what is true and what isn't. She 
is always going on about creatures tha everyone else knows are not 
real, but some of what she says, like the thestrals, is. When she 
talks about the veil, for instance, who is to know what part is real 
and what is just Loony Lovegood talking again.
