va32h:

Harry nicking back his map only "happened" because a fan spotted that 
plot hole and asked JKR about it in a Q&A session. Once again, she just 
plain goofed and had to make up an explanation after the fact. 

Once again I ask - why is it *our* responsibility as readers to make up 
excuses and explanations for all the stuff the author didn't bother to 
make clear or just plain forgot about?

JKR is like a chronically cheating spouse, and fandom the long-
suffering spouse in denial. 

She keeps telling us she's been working late, and we believe it because 
we want to, deliberately ignoring the plot holes and inconsistencies 
that are her lipstick on the collar.
