That's not necessarily a Flint, though.  I don't seem to recall 
anything in that scene to indicate Harry was necessarily relating 
things in the exact order they happened.  I'm just going from memory 
here, but didn't he pause in the narrative before that happened 
(interrupted you might say) and didn't Dumbledore say something along 
the lines of "You must have seen..." and Harry responds by naming his 
father then his mother.  Just going by memory, so I could be wrong, 
isn't that how it goes?

I would have thought that if they corrected an error, they'd have 
corrected it everywhere.  Sure, they could have just made another 
mistake, but maybe it's not a mistake and instead is indicative of 
the relative importance of Harry's parents in his mind.  He is, after 
all, a boy, and constantly reminded of how similar he is to his 
father both in good ways and bad.
