Does it really matter what perspective JKR writes in? She is the 
author, she has a creative license to write in whatever style she 
wants. She could jump from perspective to perspective any way she 
wants, whatever she sees fit she will do. Something has been 
bothering me ever since I first visited this site, people seem to 
mix thoughts. They will either treat the charactars in the books as 
real people, with real thoughts, real motives; or, treat it from 
JKR's perspective, asking her motives, her thoughts etc. Should 
theories be limited to one or the other?
