Barbara again:

I had thought the same thing.  However, maybe what is important is 
that we and Harry didn't see them.  It seems that when something 
happens that we and Harry don't see it often turns out to be 
important.  Maybe I am just making this more important that it is.  
Or, maybe there is something there.
