At least you confirm the bumblebrainedness. ;-)

Yeah, actually they would do quite well to get a bunch of us to proof 
HPB and book 7, as we've probably over analyzed so much of the book, 
we'd note these oddities more quickly than anyone else, including JKR!

I still remember being instantly hit sideways when in OotP in 
Dumbledore's office, Harry is sniffling about having never asked 
Sirius if he'd gone to watch the PoA Quidditch game to compare Harry 
and James' flying... because I'd remembered in PoA reading the Sirius 
has actually remarked this very comparison to Harry after the 
Shrieking Shack. *sigh*

Y'all have to admit... we'd all work for free for Scholastic or 
Bloomberry (or whomever) and do a pretty bang up job on a final draft.
