The point of my last paragraph which you quoted was that it is 
interesting that Jo Rowling actually makes a specific reference 
to the winged boars on the pillars on /every/ occasion that Harry 
comes through the gates on his way to the school which seems 
a bit of an overkill. 

We know that they are there, why reinforce our memory with a 
sledgehammer?


Catherine now:
   
  Because I had never remembered them from book to book. I don't think they'll be important in book 7, but it's a decription of the gates as he passes through them. It never bothered me, obviously, since I never remembered they were there!
