Pippin:
Harry is not competent to determine the cause of death by an 
examination of the body, nor is he competent to determine whether
an avada kedavra curse has been effective. 

Harry, furthermore, wouldn't know the post hoc fallacy if it 
danced in front of him wearing a tea cozy. He has come to
faulty conclusions  even when no one was making
a deliberate attempt to trick him, that  Slughorn would be the new 
DADA professor, for example. 

Many wizards might reach the same conclusions as Harry, but
then, as we all know, a lot of wizards haven't an ounce of logic.
