Abergoat:

And the real clincher for me, why doesn't anyone offer the barman
condolences at the funeral? Mad Eye has met Aberforth, he should
recognize him given that everyone thinks Harry recognized the barman
because he looks like Dumbledore.

Lynda:

I don't know that no one offered the barman condolences at the funeral.  I
do know that its not noted in the text if someone did.  Once again, that's
the narrator's prerogative to not detail everything (for which I'm
grateful...I don't need to know about every bath Harry takes or whether or
not Ron gets a birthday present from him every year).
And, if the barman is Aberforth, I'm a little surprised that Harry hasn't
realized the reason yet that he always seems so familiar.
