Mitchell,

People haven't overlooked the portraits at all.  It's been discussed  
here at length.  As have many other topics like:

Is Harry a Horcrux?
What really happened that night at Godric's Hollow?
Is Snape Evil?
Was Lily Potter Snape's True Love?
Will Draco become Good?
Who will be the new headmaster at Hogwarts?
Will Harry return to Hogwarts?
Will Fawkes show up again?
What is the significance of Lily having Harry's eyes?
What was the look of triumph in Dumbledore's eyes?
How could Quirrell shake Harry's hand at the beginning of SS/PS and  
then die while touching Harry at the end?
Will Harry/Ron/Hermione/Neville/Luna/Ginny/The Twins/Remus/Any Other  
Weasley die?

etc. etc.

I don't mean to direct this solely at you, Mitchell.  I'm sorry but  
your post raised a bit of a red flag.
There are many new folks here, and you are all welcome, but as a long- 
time poster to this list who
is not a list-elf in any way shape or form I would BEG all of you to  
please read the FAQ and do searches of the group when you have a  
question or concern like this.   Because the odds are that these very  
questions have been discussed.  Repeatedly.

New opinions are always good, but it kind of rubs me the wrong way to  
have people come in and say "you are overlooking this" or "I have  
this new idea" when the ideas are far from overlooked and far from new.
