But it's so much more interesting to think how the weather can be  
in a fantasy land than what it is like in the real world. 

~~"Gallopin' Gorgons, that reminds me," said Hagrid...<snip> With 
his tongue between his teeth he scribbled a note that Harry could 
read upside down:

Dear Professor Dumbledore,
Given Harry his letter.
Taking him to buy his things tomorrow.
WEATHER'S HORRIBLE. (my emphasis) Hope you're well.
Hagrid
ss/ch 4/pg 52

Personally I don't believe it's just a casual talk of weather going 
on here.

~~For a split second Harry thought he had done magic without meaning 
to, despite the fact that he'd been resisting as hard as he could - 
then his reason caught up with his senses - *he didn't have the 
power to turn off the stars*.

I'll stick by my original statement that there is more to the 
weather than we think. IMO Moldy Voldy and probably Harry can have 
an affect on the weather. Who knows, maybe McGuffin will make 
another appearance. <G>
