| My son Jesse asked me --- didn't Harry witness his mother dying?
| If yes, why
| couldn't he see thestrals sooner?
|
| Can someone help?

Out of the mouths of babes...And a very interesting question indeed!

I'm going to speculate that either (1) Harry didn't really see the death of
his mother because he was blinded by the AK curse or (2) he was too young to
recognize what really happened.

Could it be that only if one sees death and recognizes it for what it really
is does one see thestrals...Not sure, but would really love to see the
speculations and thoughts on this.

Cheers,

Lee :-)
