Your story continues to amuse me. I'm sure that many of the inconsistancies that you have identified are intended to be charming excentricities. I have made note of several myself, including the unlikely ignorance of the muggle world. Thanks for writing. W.Searching for Disaster

In all honesty JKR is a fucking moron and the fact that she is a millionaire/billionaire just shows that some people are just lucky(JKR)/stupid (the public) beyond all reasonable thought.
Seriously, I think that Dumbledore knew all about the troll where it was and where it was going. He told them all to go back to the dormitories so Harry could have a chance to befriend an incredibly intelligent girl who would help overcome his some of his deficiencies. Which is part of why Ron and his family were introduced to Harry to help overcome his ignorance of the Wizarding World; though only when absolutely necessary. Seriously, I think that Dumbledore was expecting Harry to die in the confrontation with Voldemort. Also, Snape should have been fired for his treatment of not only a child but a celebrity.
Harry Potter was basically a woman in a mans body. JKR made him incredibly forgiving which is generally a female archetype. Men are usually seen as the vengeful of those who have wronged them. Another thing which I found disgusting was his view on Snape after his death and Dumbledores view on him they were basically acting like an abused woman is with her abusive lover making up excuses for him and believing he'll change. Snape set out to get Harry and Japes Potter killed and Lily set up as his wife/slave/whore who knows. Damn, sorry for the rant. It felt good to let that out though. Oh and good fic so far.Searching for Disaster

I here your complaints. In my view there are two groups when it comes to knowledge about muggles. There is group A, which is the ignorant people who have no clue how to dress muggle, and know very little about them . Then there is Group B, who know about muggles in general. Malfoy is group B. Perhaps his father made him learn about muggles so he would know the enemy.Searching for Disaster

You can come with an excuse for any given inconsistancy. but they do add up, don't they? I'm surprised, lack of rules or not, that Dumbles didn't immediately try to get Harry to attend potions with that wonderful teacher SnapeSearching for Disaster

Nice chap.
One more thing to ponder - it's said that you-know-who is the most feared and the most powerful dark lord of the last century... Why exactly? Voldemort is just a terrorist with not so big group of followers. I'd think Grindewald who was Hitler's companion would be much more feared - it's not like Voldemort has killed several millions of people, right?
And why exactly all muglleborns fear his name also? Being muggleborns they should have more common sence.
About Hogwarts:
A bunch of children. Near the lake. Completely unsuperwised. WTF? O_O
And more:
Just how large is Hogwarts' staff? I've counted about 13 including Binns, Dumbledore and Filch.
Now what about students? Let's consider Harry's year is average. 21 students. 147 for seven years. Just 7 more than there are staircases in the castle. And how 13 people are going to have any idea what are other 147 doing in this huge castle?
The student's population raises another concern. How much people does British wizarding world have? let's say average wizard/witch lives about 120 years. Then there should be about 2500 people - if Hogwarts is really the only one British school. 2500 people can't form economically independant and stable society.
This is not plot hole or plot crater :) This is f...g plot void.Searching for Disaster

Maybe Hedwig just wanted to find someone to believe in her - like fairies need someone to clap their hands. I love the way Harry just blows off Snape...Searching for Disaster

What do you have against centaurs? I can see making Ron half troll or hag, but making him part centaur is just insulting to the centaur race.
