But even straightforward sentences sometimes turn out to be unreliable
(see my "Harry knew" sentences in a previous post, or the infamous
"Snape was going to Crucio him into insanity"). You have to consider
context. How much is Harry likely to know or understand about what

money. (How could he possibly identify every person in that crowd? He
couldn't.)
