Kim here, snipping the parts that preceded Katrina's post:

I hope I'm not guilty of over-snippage here, but wanted to chime in
on the perspective issue.

I once read a description of this that I thought was quite
accurate. While the narrator is indeed the third person, the reader
is always subject to the "Harry Filter" which puts blinders on what
we are able to perceive about the Potterverse.

Kim now:
I agree with what you wrote, except for the word "always."  I don't 
think Harry filters everything.  When he does and when he doesn't is 
of course debatable.
