Faith - as Hypothetic Alley points out, is cousin to Naive and Gullible.
Accepting existing canon at face value is a losing game for two reasons:

1. The canon's not yet complete
and
2. JKR keeps modifying it.

For 2.75 books Scabbers is a dozy rat; it's 3.25 books before we get a 
hint that there's more to learn about Neville; for 4.5 books James is a
nice though possibly mischievous teenager; it's 5 books and a website
before we find out that DD has been in communication with Petunia
before Godric's Hollow.

Are you perhaps claiming that no more re-assessments will be necessary,
or will you just surreptitiously move the goal-posts at any new revelation,
claiming that "Well, it is canon after all"? Naughty, naughty.
