I think maybe you're overthinking things.  We, the readers, need to 
have the various animals, plants, spells, etc. explained so that we 
know what's going on.  So JKR takes advantage that this is a school 
and Harry is learning about the WW to introduce new stuff.  Plus, 
there's the side benefit of foreshadowing. Of course, if you want to 
look at it from *inside* the world, and not as a reader, you could 
say that Harry and crew do a good job using what they have on hand.  
Harry takes what he's learned and adapts it to whatever problem he's 
facing.

I agree there is foreshadowing going on. Funny how we all think it 
means different things.

Then again - there is that handy, Dumbledore is Ron theory kicking 
around. :)

Yeah! My favorite!
