Perhaps JKR wrote the obstacles in the first book specifically to 
showcase the varied talents of the trio HRH and emphasize the 
specialties of her teacher characters.  Perhaps, she didn't consider 
what the availability of the needed materials signified about 
Dumbledore's expectations of Harry or anyone else. 

In interviews and on her website, JKR often seems quite surprised by 
how much she is analyzed and when she was writing the first book, 
she was not yet faced with our scrutiny of the underlying meanings 
in HP events.
