Hannah: Yes, that's a good point, however, IMO it is just filling in 
narrative, giving the accepted view of what happened.  I suppose it 
depends on the individual interpretation - but the narrative only 
gives information from Harry's point of view at that time (with the 
exception of the first chapter of PS/SS).  It would be like 
referring to Scabbers always as 'the evil animagus disguised as a 
rat' - it would be correct, but not coherent with Harry's pov (and a 
bit of a plot spoiler).  

The narrative tells us what is happening, what Harry thinks and 
feels, and gives a resume of events as Harry thinks they occurred.  
The narrative in PS/SS states that Lily and James died in a car 
crash.  This isn't true, but it is what Harry considers to be the 
truth at that time.  

This is just my opinion.  I can perfectly understand your point.
