  These are some astute observations, but unfortunately they are not 
limited or unique to J.K. Rowling. If you are extremely intrigued by 
this type of detection, I point you in the direction of the original 
author of this type of fiction, A.C. Doyle, author of the Sherlock 
Holmes short stories, and novels. You will probably be able to pick 
up some large similarities between her writing and his! Other 
detective novels use many of these formulas, but Doyle was the first. 
Though his stories are written first-person, and Rowling's third 
person omniscient, you will also be able to pick up similarities in 
the narrative tone. 

  If you don't mind, I would like to ask your permission to repost 
this to my writer's group. We'd love to pick it apart there. :)
