Potiocat:
You may be right. This could be a flint. Lupin made it very clear 
that he had to be careful to land on the top step so he couldn't be 
seen. I wish I could get the canon.

I took it to mean that when Ron and Harry landed, they were 
unbalanced and they sort of overshot as they regained footing. Or 
parts of them overshot. I thought they wore the IC so for the mission 
they were on that moment and to cover any slip-ups as they returned. 

Did I just write a long me-too to B-Boy's post?

To cover slip-ups....Does this make the IC a slipcover? Reminds me of 
Chair!Slughorn.
