Thanks for noticing!  Of course, we think of Snape right away.  But 
won't that help JKR if she's planning some other big surprises?  
Sort of like a magician's technique.  While we're all looking one

Exactly.  And we're not necessarily being duped because we believe 
that Harry's got it right.  We're duped because we think the 
narrator has it right.
