Potioncat:
The fun is, with JKR's unreliable narrator,that you never know when the 
unreliable narrator is right or when she is wrong; or when you just 
think she is trying to mislead. 

No, I don't think your dialogue will happen in book 7. There may be no 
more comments about the battle at all. Or we may get Tonks commenting 
on how many hexes that missed her hit someone else. 

JKR may have been trying to write the chaos of the battle. No one is 
really sure what's going on, including us in that scene.


Unreliable Narrator is a literary devise and there's no doubt it's used 
here. It would be a mistake not to consider its role as you look at the 
plot.
