Yb now:
That's a shame. I have the First Hardcover Boxed Set edition, 
September 2001, and it has the frontispiece, with a little note at 
the bottom from Irma Pince threatening consequences to anyone who 
mishandles the book.

I don't think it matters that much, since someone already pointed 
out a FLINT with Hermione and Harry's checkout dates. But it shows 
who has a bit of an interest in learning about Quidditch (nearly all 
of the Gryffindor Q Team checked it out). I think that was all the 
purpose the frontispiece was meant to serve, to give it a "library 
book" look.
