You know I think the more we look the more we are going to find
ourselves asking these kinds of questions. I, like many of you, am
rereading the series in its entirety after reading Deathly Hallows,
and am currently rereading The Order of the Phoenix. If you remember
when Ron and Hermoine get there prefect badges Sirius tells Harry
that James was never a prefect. Not a few lines previous to this Mrs
Weasley makes a comment about becoming a prefect being the first
step towards becoming head boy! So how did James become head boy
without being a prefect! Another discrepancy that just jumped out at
me now that I am reading the books consecutively without the long
waits for the next book, is the tressils? (spelling? Not my best
asset!) If you suddenly see these winged horse after you have seen
death, why didn't Harry see them at the end of The Goblet of Fire.
There is a scene at King's Cross with the carriages, however no
mention of these new creatures! At any rate these are just little
things we are going to have to accept, and try not to let them
bother us too much! Reguardless, I love the stories, flawed as they
might be!
