Suzanne (belatedly de-lurking):

I thought I read somewhere that the whole multiple-Harry-decoys idea was an in-joke by JKR on Daniel Radcliffe.

If I remember correctly, after he appeared naked in the West End in 'Equus' she teased him mercilessly and put in the scene in which many Harrys immodestly strip naked so that when it was filmed many Dans would have to appear simultaneously naked.

I could be wrong, though.
