My beef with Harry being left in the dark is that Harry's eyes have always been the reader's eyes, and for the reader to know something this obvious at the end of the book but for Harry to remain ignorant seems an affront to her protagonist. Harry seems clueless as a result. Of course, he IS, because the reader was given the chapter of Spinner's End and Harry was not. But to do that to Harry to and through the end of the book? Not right.
Harry is to be the jewel in his crown, his ultimate Mary-Sue. Is it okay that that makes me all aroused-shivery, that statement?
