Alla:

Because I find the rule that prevent students to read to be absurd. 
But if you give me the canon for that happening in any other 
instance, I will of course bow to that.

I would think Hogwarts teachers encourage their students to read NOT 
taking the books away from them, no matter where they read them.

Alla:

Well, luckily canon disagrees with your argument in this instance. I 
can also bring up the fact that Harry was interested in reading his 
school books even before he got to Hogwarts.
