Well, maybe so, but that's Dumbledore's fault.  He was the one who 
told Harry before the beginnign of the school year to keep the 
Invisibility Cloak with him at all times. So,is Dumbledore guilty of 
encouraging Harry to blind himself to the existence of different 
interpretations of what Harry actually sees, simply because he's got 
his trusty cloak with him?
