Magpie:
Now I'm back on the fence again, as when I first read the text I'm sure I 
thought it was Harry too, but reading the discussion I figured I must have 
been mistaken.  Maybe I (we) weren't at all.  Unfortuantely I don't have the 
book in front of me.  Kind of a shame--I don't usually get attached to 
theories, but I kind of like this one.

Probably because it also makes Fenrir less of a threat.  You had the kid 
right there and he just zapped you?  Oh Fenrir, that's bad.
