Personally, I think it's the author's responsibility to make sure her
own story makes sense - and not our responsibility as readers to go
thinking up explanation after explanation for questionable
continuity.

This is just one of good dozen small, easily fixed continuity gaffes.
Which means either the editors were lazy and sloppy or JKR was lazy
and sloppy, or they all thought fandom would just be too grateful to
get the last book to care if it was any good or not.

    Exactly!  None of us are asking other posters to come up with 
increasingly unlikely
explanations for these glitches, particularly not with a suggestion of 
"duh".  The fact is,
that there should not be such glaring, obvious flaws in the plot.  Other 
minor things, like
names and curses, can be excused but when it is a necessary part of the 
plot to show
 characterization or timing, or movement of characters.  That is 
unforgivable.  Pardon me,
no pun intended.
